Ruminant Imports Official Bluetongue Test Results IRL 2017 to 2021

Bluetongue ELISA test results of ruminants (cattle, sheep and goats) imported into Ireland over the period Jan 2017 to Dec 2021. ELISA used detects all serotypes of Bluetongue (wild virus and current vaccines) currently found in Europe. As quarantine procedures encourage double sampling of imported animals, some results will be from the same animal tested twice.
