J. aBluetongue virus in goats. c1972 aBluetongue (BT) viremia in Saanen goats was assayed by inoculating blood into embryonating chicken eggs. High-titer viremia consistently occurred in Saanen goats inoculated with either BT 8 or 63-66B strain of BT virus. Low-titer viremia consistently occurred in Saanen goats inoculated with 4 other strains of BT virus. Virus was detected as early as postinoculation day (PID) 1, increased to a peak on PID 6 or 7, and then gradually de- creased, but was still detectable as late as PID 21. Goats did not develop overt signs of illness, and 13 of 18 goats inoculated had group-specific BT viral precipitin antibodies in their blood serums on PID 21. All goats had antibodies 21 days after the challenge viral inoculation was given. aBluetongue virus aBody temperature aCulicoides imicola aGoat diseases aHematocrit aImmunodiffusion tests aImmunology aLeukocyte count aSheep diseases aCaprino aDoença Animal aLíngua Azul aVírus aChick Embryo1 aANAKWENZE, E.
