"These vaccines are shown to protect against the newly emerged serotype-3 bluetongue virus (BTV3), responsible for recent outbreaks in Europe, and against which vaccines currently approved at EU wide-level show little protection," the Amsterdam-based agency said. The BTV-3 strain of the virus was first detected in the Netherlands in September 2023, before spreading to Germany the following month. Cases have been recorded across Europe.
