BTV can cause abortion, in animals? WTF? I guess they must mean miscarriages. AFAIK non-human animals don’t do abortions.
A miscarriage is a spontaneous abortion. Well, not entirely.
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy, spontaneous abortion is the termination by the body of the mother.
The exception is cases where the fetus dies and is then ejected, iirc that’s considered a miscarriage but not always an spontaneous abortion.

What we colloquially call abortions are technically induced abortions.
Another one…
Wikipedia says it’s insect-borne.
