Bluetongue has been found in six imported cattle in Worcestershire, Defra has confirmed.
The animals, found on a premises near Worcester, were bought from Germany, said Defra.
It also said the virus, which is spread by midges, had been detected in a cow bought from France on a premises near Dorchester, Dorset.
Bluetongue was found on Wednesday in 18 cattle imported from Germany to a farm in County Durham.
The cases were detected as a result of post-import testing.
A Defra spokesman said as the animals were imported, the cases did not count as new outbreaks and there was no evidence to suggest the disease was circulating locally.
