A serologic investigation of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus in China between 2014 and 2019.

ABSTRACT: Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) is a member of the genus Orbivirus, family Sedoreoviridae. It was firstly recognized in 1955 to cause a highly fatal disease of wild white-tailed deer in America. So far, EHDV was detected and isolated in many wild or domestic ruminants, and widely distributed all over the world. Although the domestic cattle and sheep infected by EHDV were usually asymptomatic or subclinical, several outbreaks of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) in deer and cattle had been reported. Many EHDV strains were isolated and sequenced in last two decades in China, which promoted a general serologic investigation of EHDV in China. In this study, 18,122 sera were collected from asymptomatic or subclinical domestic ruminants (cattle, cow, yaks, sheep, goats, and deer) in
