BTVPUR
inactivated vaccine against bluetongue virus serotypes 1 and 8
Table of contents
Overview
BTVPUR is a vaccine used in sheep and cattle to protect them against bluetongue disease, an infection caused by the bluetongue virus which is transmitted by midges. The vaccine is used to prevent viraemia (the presence of viruses in the blood) and reduce the signs of the disease.
The vaccine contains inactivated (killed) bluetongue virus. The variety (serotype) of the virus in the vaccine is selected depending on which serotypes are circulating and causing disease at the time of manufacture, so it may contain serotype 1, 2, 4 or 8 or a combination of any two of these.
