Ep 40: BTV-3 at the Gate - From threat to reality
In this episode, Charles and Natasha are returning to the topic of BTV-3, discussing the dangers and worries surrounding the virus, as it spreads rapidly across the country.
Dr. Avril Hobson, Senior Superintending Veterinary Inspector in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, sits down with Charles to share her insights on BTV-3 including how the virus is no longer a disease of eradication.
Joining Avril is Conor McAloon PhD MVB, Professor at UCD’s School of Veterinary Medicine, who provides additional analysis on the subject matter, such as pinpointing what the most likely root of transmission was for BTV-3 to have arrived in Ireland.
Natasha and Charles also share some of their stories from being out on the job during St. Patrick’s Day, over the years.
