In order to study the safety and the immunogenicity of the South African vaccine against the serotype 2 bluetongue virus, two groups of seven sheep were vaccinated with the vaccine used in the French island of Corsica. Vaccinated and non-vaccinated sheep were observed clinically and their rectal temperatures were recorded daily. The serological response in vaccinated animals confirmed the immunogenicity of the vaccine. Post-vaccinal viraemia was investigated and the vaccine genome was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). No viraemia was observed at post-vaccination days 4, 7 and 11 but the vaccine strain of virus was detected by RT-PCR throughout the experiment. The thermostability of the vaccine was also evaluated. The vaccine titre strongly decreased at temperatures higher than 35 degrees C.
