(I = virus serotype isolated:

S = serological evidence for the presence of each serotype (detection of neutralising antibodies): 

R= Detection of relevant serotype specific RNA e.g. by RT-PCR and sequence analysis

* BTV types currently in Europe. Prior to 1999 BTV serotypes from Europe had been isolated from relatively short lived (up to 4 years) epizootics and the virus had subsequently been eradicated on each occasion.
