Understanding overwintering and risk prediction of Bluetongue virus

Reports show Bluetongue virus transmission is interrupted during winter; however, outbreaks often reappear in the following season (overwintering). Understanding the overwintering mechanisms for Bluetongue virus is the beginning of an effective control strategy. In the current report, the probability of Bluetongue virus overwintering is assessed through different lenses. Also infused here is the role of climate change on transmission, and machine learning models for risk prediction. Insect ve
