💨 Abstract

In Sardinia, an insect-borne disease called bluetongue is ravaging local livestock, killing 40,000 sheep and lambs, and threatening the island's significant sheep farming industry and cultural identity. The virus, carried by a tiny insect called Culicoides, has hit around a quarter of Sardinia's sheep farms this year, despite vaccination efforts.
