Sheep disease bluetongue spreads

The number of Dutch farms where the Bluetongue virus has been identified has increased to 22, the farm ministry said on Tuesday.


The disease, which is born by insects, was first spotted on a farm in Nood-Brabant last week. It has now been found on farms in Limburg and Zuid-Holland provinces.
