→Bluetongue Control in Europe
In addition to movement resrtictions, surveillance for disease and vectors are implemented as necessary in an outbreak, and relevant communications are made to owners and veterinary surgeons to advise of the measures in place. The aim at all times is to tightly control disease, with an aim to eradication, and vaccination will normally play a large part in this according to plans laid out by DEFRA. A test and slaugher policy is not used, because BTV is not transmitted directly between susceptible animals.
