Bluetongue (BT) is a disease caused by bluetongue virus (BTV) and transmitted by vectors of the genus Culicoides. Serological studies have demonstrated the widespread presence of the virus in Brazil, however, clinical information of BT in South America are limited. This article describes clinical and pathological changes observed in sheep naturally infected by BTV in southern Brazil. In two outbreaks on different farms, 15 sheep showed clinical signs such as severe hyperthermia, apathy, swelling of the face and submandibular area, difficulty in swallowing with regurgitation, greenish mucopurulent nasal secretion, severe weight loss, and erosions in the oral mucosa. Necropsy findings in six sheep included subcutaneous edema of the face and ventral region of the chest, greenish nasal discharge, and dilated esophagus filled with abundant food contents, collapsed lungs with areas of anteroventral consolidation, and trachea and bronchi filled by foamy material mixed with food. In the heart and base of the pulmonary artery there were foci of hemorrhage. Histologically, the main changes were in cardiac and skeletal muscles and consisted of biphasic lesions characterized by hyaline and floccular degeneration/necrosis of myofibers associated with micro-mineralization and mononuclear cell infiltration. Pneumonia associated with the presence of organic matter and bacteria in the lumen of the bronchi was also observed. The diagnosis of BT was confirmed by detection of the viral genome by duplex RT-PCR in blood of affected animals, followed by the identification of BTV, serotype 12 by nucleotide sequencing.

RESUMO.- Língua azul (LA) é uma doença causada pelo vírus da língua azul (VLA) e transmitida por vetores do gênero Culicoides. Estudos sorológicos têm demonstrado a ampla presença do vírus no Brasil; entretanto, informações clínicas da LA na América do Sul são limitadas. Esse trabalho descreve alterações clínico-patológicas em ovinos acometidos pela LA no Sul do Brasil. Em dois surtos, em propriedades distintas, 15 ovinos apresentaram como principais sinais clínicos hipertermia, apatia, aumento de volume da face e região submandibular, dificuldade de deglutição com regurgitação, secreção nasal mucopurulenta esverdeada, alterações respiratórias, além de acentuada perda de peso e erosões na mucosa oral. Os achados de necropsia em seis ovinos afetados incluíram edema subcutâneo na face e região ventral do tórax, secreção nasal esverdeada, esôfago dilatado preenchido por grande quantidade de conteúdo alimentar, pulmões não colabados com áreas consolidadas anteroventrais, bem como luz da traquéia e brônquios preenchida por espuma misturada com conteúdo alimentar. No coração e base da artéria pulmonar, havia focos de hemorragia. Histologicamente, as principais alterações observadas ocorriam no tecido muscular cardíaco e esquelético, especialmente no esôfago e consistiam de lesões bifásicas caracterizadas por degeneração/necrose hialina e flocular de miofibras associadas com micro-calcificação e infiltrado inflamatório mononuclear. Pneumonia aspirativa associada à presença de material vegetal e bactérias na luz de brônquios também foi observada. O diagnóstico de LA foi confirmado pela detecção do genoma viral por duplex RT-PCR em amostras de sangue de animais afetados, seguido da identificação do VLA, sorotipo 12 por sequenciamento.

The neurohistologic observations were performed using the specimens prepared by Winkelmann and Schmitt silver impregnation method. The tissues were fixed in 10% formalin solution and sections of 40mm thickness were obtained by Leica Cryostat at -30oC. The sections of dorsal mucosa of White-lipped peccary tongue showed numerous filliform and fungiform papillae, and two vallate papillae on the caudal part. The epithelial layer revealed queratinized epithelial cells and the connective tissue papillae of different sizes and shapes. Thick nerve fiber bundles are noted into the subepithelial connective tissue of the papillae. The connective tissue of fungiform and vallate papillae contained numerous sensitive nerves fibers bundles forming a complex nerve plexus.
