BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
