1 Bluetongue and related Orbiviruses a global update Dr Chris Oura Professor of Veterinary Virology School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) The University of the West Indies (UWI) Trinidad and Tobago chris.oura@sta.uwi.edu USAHA Bluetongue and related Orbiviruses Committee, 26 th Oct 2015 Today s Presentation Orbiviruses a very short update! Presentation will concentrate on Bluetongue Lessons learnt from the BTV-8 outbreak in Europe Recent global findings - should we be worried in the USA? Bluetongue and EHD in the Caribbean recent studies My take on the international and regional trade debate Family Reoviridae: Genus Orbiviruses There are currently 22 recognized virus species as well as 13 unassigned viruses in this genus African horse sickness virus Bluetongue virus Chuzan virus Corriparta virus Epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus Equine encephalosis virus Eubenengee virus Eubenengee virus Ngoupe virus Tilligerry virus Great Island virus Broadhaven virus Great Island virus Kemerovo virus Lipovnik virus Tribec viruses Lake Clarendon virus Palyam virus CSIRO Village virus Pata virus Peruvian horse sickness virus Elsey virus St Croix river virus Umatilla virus Stretch Lagoon virus Umatilla virus Wallal virus Warrego virus Wongorr virus Yunnan virus Middle Point virus These viruses are known to be transmitted by midges (Culicoides), mosquitoes and ticks.

2 Bluetongue the disease BTV infects all species of ruminant - severe disease is usually seen only certain breeds of sheep (fine wool & mutton) & some species of deer (white-tailed). Cattle - are usually are sub-clinically infected; reservoir Transmission of BTV Bite of an infected Culicoides midge Spread of infected Culicoides on the wind Death EIP dependent on temperature Virus replication Haemorrhage % of EIP completed per day Fastest observed EIP Temperature Deg C Oedema Bluetongue Clinical disease FLI
3 Bluetongue virus global ecosystems - Evolving Different species of Culicoides vector disseminate different serotypes of BTV in relatively distinct global ecosystems Bluetongue a changing virus in a changing world 1.5 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 14, 19, 22, 24 +1,2,4,6,8,9,11, 14,16, 25 (2, 5,8,12,15, 24) , 23 Temperature deviation, compared to average (oc) Year , 8, 10, 16 1, 3, 7, 9, 12, 15, 16, 20, 21, , 7 Thanks to Kiki Nomikou for this slide updated from Tabachnick, W. J. J Exp Biol 2010 Six new and recent findings: 1. BTV in Northern Europe Seg-2 comparison of NET2006/01 to the other BTV-8 strains South African BTV-8 Seg-2 partial sequences provided by Dr. AC.

4 2. BTV-8 was affecting cattle BELGIUM Cattle Sheep Morbidity % 6.8% 27.3% Mortality % 0.6% 11.2% Case fatality % 17.7% 41.9% 3. BTV-8 was a reproductive disease photo: IVI, Switzerland; C. Griot photo: IVI, Switzerland; C. Griot photo: IVI, Switzerland; C. Griot Fertility problems + abortions + fœtal abnormalities in both cattle and sheep 4. BTV-8 was being transmitted both transplacentally and orally Levels of transplacental transmission? 60 farmers with animals infected with BTV contacted 23/54 calves PCR positive (>1/3 transplacentally infected) 1/23 Stillborn, 1/23 died 3 days old, 2/23 BTV +ve calves are dummy calves. All other calves healthy.
5 5. New BTV serotypes in goats BTV-26 adapted to goats? No clinical signs High viraemia Happy Virus! Happy Goats!
6 6. BTV-26 is being transmitted by direct contact (probably not by midges) Entry Lobby 1 Gate 1 Gate m high 6 Clean side Dirty side 5 Indirect contacts Direct contacts BTV26 infected water food Attendance movement cleaning 6. BTV-26 is being transmitted by direct contact (probably not by midges) Eva Veronesi, The Pirbright Institute Culicoides midges were fed a BTV-26 spiked blood meal Viral RNA measured at day 7 post infection. The declining levels of viral RNA observed revealed that the midges only have a sub-transmissible infection Unlikely to be competent to transmit BTV BTV-26 is being transmitted by direct contact (probably not by midges) Other BTVs (BTV-27, BTV out there that can be transmitted by direct contact?
7 DANGER: Reassortment of co-circulating BTV strains Increase virulence in Cattle? Gain ability to cross placenta? Direct / oral transmission? What have we discovered about BTV? Big changes affecting international trade Rapidly moving and adapting to new ecosystems climate change Some strains affect cattle as well as sheep / goats Can be a reproductive disease Can pass transplacentally significance for overwintering / trade? Can be passed orally significance? Some strains can be transmitted directly (BTV-26) Circulating strains (field and vaccine strains) are reassorting in the field Where are we now? June 2008 Successful vaccination Outbreaks of BTV-8 in Europe, Germany 20,000 cases France 30,000 cases End of 2012 source: Wilson & Mellor (2009) Phil Trans R Soc B
8 Successful vaccination: BTV in Germany 2007 Successful vaccination BTV in Germany 2008 France end of 2007 France end of , 2012, 2013, 2014 No cases of BTV-8 reported in Northern and Western Europe (Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, UK). France reported over 15,500 outbreaks in 2007 and 27,000 outbreaks in Limited (due to lack of vaccine) vaccination was carried out in 2008 Compulsory vaccination was carried out in 2009 resulting in a high proportion of immune animals (estimates at between 50 and 90%) Voluntary vaccination in 2010 (no information on vaccine take-up) Final outbreak was in June 2010 therefore France was declared free of BTV-8 in 2012
9 BTV circulation in Europe Romania 2015/16 mass vaccination not implemented due to high cost BTV-1 and 4 Spain, Portugal and Italy BTV-4 mainland Greece Potential novel serotype in Goats in Corsica BTV-4 outbreak in the Balkans Variable vaccination strategies in BTV-4 affected countries Compulsory vaccination in Croatia and Bulgaria good coverage achieved Hungary plans to vaccinate but not initiated (May 2015) Greece and Slovenia no vaccination Bluetongue Distribution 15 Sept 2015 Thanks to Kiki Nomikou for this slide BTV-14 BTV-8 BTV-4 BTV-1 & 4 BTV-1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 16, 27 BTV-4, 8,
10 France - Where did BTV-8 come from in 2015? BTV-8 vaccine strain circulating? No 1 ram with clinical signs Aug 21 st 2015 A new introduction? BTV-8 came from the original 2006 source? Unlikely but possible Silent circulation for 5 years? probable Wildlife circulation? deer or other wildlife possible Clinical signs not seen in vaccinated animals but virus circulating? possible Thanks to Stephan Zientara for the slides As of 8 th October 2015 Transplacental spread immunotolerant carriers? possible Inactivated vaccines may give protection for at least 4 years in cattle and 2.5 years in sheep Lessons learned European BTV-8 outbreak Need for rapid response to future BT outbreaks Prompt vaccination preferably before virus circulation High levels of coverage to eradicate (>80%) Vaccination over multiple years to eradicate (compulsory vs voluntary) Length of protection post vaccination may be longer than expected Constant increasing risk - new BTV serotypes lining up. Morocco: BTV-4, BTV-1, Algeria BTV-1, Mediterranean BTV-16 Israel: BTV-15, BTV-4, BTV-16, BTV-8, BTV-24, BTV-5 Risks of genetic exchange by reassortment mixed viral phenotypes Need for pan-bluetongue protective vaccines to protect livestock Possible reason for rapid control and eradication of BTV from Northern Europe despite a reduced vaccine coverage after the first year. Reverse Genetic approaches promising results DISC (DISA) vaccines (disabled infectious single cycle vaccines) NS-3 / VP-2 Inactivated vaccines universal vaccine platform Subunit vaccines VLP vaccines
11 Bluetongue virus (BTV) in the Americas 18/24 serotypes present Virus Isolation Serotype Determination Fifty-nine naïve BTV antibody negative dairy cattle (Holstein and Jersey breeds) were imported into Trinidad from the USA Trinidad and Tobago 3 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17 Barbados 1, 3 1, 3, 4, 8, 12, 17 Dominican Republic 4, 6, 8 3, 4, 6, 8, 17 Martinique /Guadaloupe 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 17, 18, 22, 24 French Guyana (South America) 1, 2, 6, 10, 12, 13, 17, 24 USA ( ) 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 19, 22, 24 All seroconverted in 3 months BTV-1, 2, 3, 5, 12 and 17 Some cattle were co-infected, providing opportunities for reassortment. Gene sequencing in progress Culicoides vectors present in Trinidad Key morphological ogical identifiers of a female C. insignis collected lected near the cattle. This species made up 87.3% of specimens collected Epizootic Haemorrhagic Disease virus (EHDV) Seven Serotypes: EHDV-1-7 Culicoides species identified to date: C. furens C. guerrai C. guyanensis C. insignis C. maruim C. ocumarensis C. pusillus Unknown 1 Unknown 2 Unknown 3 The mtcoi sequences were analyzed phylogenetically against other known Culicoides mtcoi sequences from GenBank Eyal Klement; Koret School of Veterinary Medicine Hebrew University, Jerusalem
12 Epizootic Haemorrhagic disease (EHD) in the Caribbean 7 proposed serotypes of EHDV: Very little information available on EHDV in the Caribbean USA: EHDV-1, EHDV-2 and EHDV-6 (2006..) Reassortment between a EHDV-6 (Australian origin?) and an endemic strain of EHDV-2 from the USA generated a reassortant virus able to cause severe outbreaks in deer. Guadaloupe and Martinique: EHDV-6 French Guyana: EHDV-1 and EHDV-6 Trinidad - All 59 cattle seroconverted to EHDV within 6 months of arrival in Trinidad. Serotyping in progress Bluetongue in the Americas: Very different to BTV-8 / BTV-4 in Northern Europe Multiple serotypes circulating with very little or no clinical signs seen in susceptible ruminants Endemic stability Indigenous breeds may be resistant High levels of immunity likely to be present (cross-serotype) How to trade animals safely from BTV-affected countries? What to avoid: Importation of novel serotypes / strains into BTV free countries Introduction of nasty strains such as the European strain of BTV-8 What you need to know: Need to know BTV status of animals antibody and virus (PCR) Need to know which serotypes are circulating where. Need to know BTV transmission-free season (winter months) What you need to do: Monitoring and surveillance check for new and existing serotypes. Ideally know serotypes circulating in exporting and importing country / state and carry out a risk assessment Thanks very much Any Questions? Carrie Batten Lorraine Edwards Kiki Nomikou Karen Darpel Lara Harup Simon Carpenter Philip Mellor Peter Mertens Trade within the Americas between countries with circulation of multiple, similar serotypes and no clinical signs very low risk.
