Fortunately this year has so far seen no invasion of bluetongue infection although a little time time still exists for midges to reach us from the continent.With both Bluetongue 1 and 8 still presnet in France this autumn we will still have to be on our guard next year. Vaccination of susceptible stock is still likely to be recommended next year but we will update as spring approaches.
