摘要：

This paper describes a rapid, standardised method for testing the susceptibility to bluetongue virus (BTV) of northern Palaearctic Culicoides species midges that can be used to assess the competence of both field-caught and laboratory-infected midges. The method has been used to show that Culicoides scoticus can replicate BTV serotype 8 and BTV serotype 9 strains to more than 3 log(10) TCID50/midge, the first evidence of the potential of this species to transmit BTV.
