Biting Midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) as Vectors of Viruses [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Biting midges of the genus Culicoides occur almost globally and can regionally and seasonally reach high abundances. Most species are hematophagous, feeding on all groups of vertebrates, including humans.

Culicoides biting midges involved in transmission of haemoproteids [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Culicoides biting midges (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) are known vectors of avian Haemoproteus parasites. These parasites cause diseases, pathology and even mortality in birds.

Host Associations of Culicoides Biting Midges in Northeastern Kansas, USA. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2023 Simple Summary Culicoides biting midges are small biting flies that can spread diseases to livestock. Understanding which animal species midges feed on in nature is important for assessing the risk of disease spread.

Species delimitation and mitonuclear discordance within a species complex of biting midges. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 The inability to distinguish between species can be a serious problem in groups responsible for pathogen transmission. Culicoides biting midges transmit many pathogenic agents infecting wildlife and livestock. In North America, the C. variipennis species

Cattle-Derived Unsaturated Aldehydes Repel Biting Midges and Mosquitoes. [PDF]
J Chem Ecol, 2022 Host-derived repellents offer a novel way to reduce disease vector–host interactions, particularly for vectors and nuisance pests where commercial repellents are not available, e.g., Culicoides biting midges.

Bluetongue Virus Serotype 3 and Schmallenberg Virus in Culicoides Biting Midges, Western Germany, 2023. [PDF]
Emerg Infect DisIn October 2023, bluetongue virus serotype 3 (BTV-3) emerged in Germany, where Schmallenberg virus is enzootic. We detected BTV-3 in 1 pool of Culicoides biting midges collected at the time ruminant infections were reported. Schmallenberg virus was found

Frog-biting midges and mosquitoes: Comparative insights from the Oriental and Sino-Japanese regions. [PDF]
Entomol SciThis review synthetizes current knowledge of frog‐biting mosquitoes and midges in the Oriental region and Japan, revealing strong geographic biases in research despite shared amphibian lineages. We highlight key knowledge gaps to guide future studies. Abstract Frog‐biting mosquitoes (Culicidae) and midges (Corethrellidae) are old hematophagous lineages
