The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of BTV-specific antibodies in animals imported to Poland from EU countries after 15 June 2006. From 1 January 2007 to 22 January 2008, a total of 10719 samples of sera collected from cattle, goats and fallow deer were tested. Sera were screened using the highly sensitive and specific c-ELISA test and positive results were confirmed by the AGID assay. Out of 10719 sera, 30 (0.28% of the total number of samples) were found to be positive in both tests applied. All of 21 seropositive cattle specimens were imported to Poland from Germany whereas 9 seropositive fallow deer were of Dutch origin. In conclusion, it can be stated that because BTV situation in Europe is getting worse, implemented surveillance studies should be continued to monitor the actual BT status in Poland.
