Scotland records two more bluetongue cases as vaccination drive intensifies
Two more bluetongue virus cases confirmed on neighboring farms in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, after the first case; all affected animals euthanised and farms under restrictions. Officials say infected midges likely blew in from outbreaks in Ireland and northern England, and vaccination is urged to prevent further spread. The UK has reported hundreds of BTV3 cases this season, though the disease does not affect humans.
