message: By my knowledge, bluetongue is a dsRNA-virus instead of a ds-DNA virus. Could somebody change this, because I find it hard to alter the Taxonomy boxes.

thread_title:  Virus taxonomy 

message: I have removed the "This article is related to a current event." tag because I don't believe the content will change significantly as a result of the emergence of bluetongue in the UK. This article is about a disease, not about specific outbreaks. If the emergence in the UK proves to be a major outbreak, then a separate article might be necessary. However, in this article it would only really merit an extra sentence or two.--86.146.242.16 10:05, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem easily enough changed if events turn out otherwise, however my suspicion is that a lot of the traffic and interest in the next couple of days will be due to the UK outbreak, I'm certain that the current spate of vandals has been because of the UK coverage.

thread_title: Removed "current" tag

message: A recent UK TV programme (Countryfile, BBC1, 23 Sept) had an item on bluetongue, and showed further symptoms to those described here.  Were those correct?  They included, as I recall, infection of joints, leading to abcesses which then burst -- there was a particularly gruesome shot of a sheep's exploded knee-joint.--Richard New Forest 07:56, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually I believe it was the Countryfile edition of 16 September -- I'm behind with watching the recordings!--Richard New Forest 16:04, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Symptoms 

message: The article was just changed to say bluetongue is "highly contagious" (from "non-contagious").
Is this correct?  The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines contagious as
*"communicating disease by contact; (of disease) so communicable".
The derivation is given as from Latin tangere to touch.
My understanding is that this disease is transmitted by a vector, not by contact, and as such it is surely infectious but not contagious?
I have reverted it for the moment, but if anyone has evidence it is indeed spread by contact, please change it back.--Richard New Forest 16:01, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the [BBC] the disease needs midges to spread the disease, however it is possible that using contaminated needles may spread the disease. KTo288 19:18, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contagious? 

message: I think there is a problem with copyright. The text about the virus is exactly the same like here.
