Summary

Sixteen isolations of bluetongue virus (BTV) were made from the heparinised bloods of 4 groups of cattle and sheep in Peninsular Malaysia. These viruses were typed as BTV serotypes 1, 2, 3, 9, 16 and 23. Multiple serotypes of BTV are apparently endemic in Malaysia and in other countries in the region.

Résumé

Seize isolements du virus de la fièvre catarrhale du mouton (BTV) ont été réalisés à partir du sang hépariné de 4 groupes de bovins et de moutons dans la péninsule de Malaisie. Ces virus ont été typés comme sérotypes BTV 1, 2, 3, 9, 16 et 23. De multiples sérotypes du BTV sont apparemment endémiques en Malaisie et dans d'autres pays de la région.

Resumen

Se efectuaron 16 aislamientos del virus de la lengua azul (VLA) de sangre heparinizada proveniente de 4 grupos de ganado y ovejas en la Península de Malasia. Los virus fueron tipificados como VLA serotipos 1, 2, 3, 9, 16 y 23. Aparentemente existen numerosos serotipos del virus de la lengua azul endémicos en Malasia y otros países de la región.
