Detection of bluetongue virus by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from the clinical samples provides a valuable tool to study the epidemiology of BTV infection in susceptible livestock. The present study reports detection of bluetongue virus in blood samples of sheep from different parts of Tamil Nadu assayed by nested polymerase chain reaction using two pairs of oligonucleotide primers designed from non structural protein 1 -NS1 Gene.enVeterinary ScienceArticle
