1. bluetongue

   Bluetongue is a non-contagious, insect-borne infectious disease caused by the Bluetongue virus. It primarily affects sheep, but can also affect other ruminants such as cows and goats. The virus is spread by a specific species of biting midges. It is characterized by inflammation of the mucous membranes, swelling and hemorrhaging in the mouth and tongue, which often turn blue, hence the name "bluetongue."
