Overview

Zulvac BTV is a veterinary 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 contains inactivated (killed) bluetongue virus. When used in sheep or cattle the vaccine contains one of the following three vaccine strains: BTV serotype 1, BTV serotype 4 and BTV serotype 8. The serotype to be used in the vaccine is selected before manufacture depending on which type is circulating and causing disease at the time. 

The vaccine can prevent the presence of serotypes 1 or 8 and reduce levels of serotype 4 in the blood in sheep, and prevent the presence of serotypes 1, 4 or 8 in the blood in cattle.
