Denmark: Bluetongue Disease Reaches Three Nordic Countries
After the 2023 outbreak of bluetongue disease in Europe, the bluetongue virus (BTV-3) has now spread to three Nordic countries. Denmark encountered the first case of bluetongue disease on August 9, Norway on September 6, and Sweden on September 12. Bluetongue disease affects sheep, goats, and cattle. Sheep and goats face higher mortality rates than cows, but sick cows produce less milk than normal.
