The draft genome of strain cCpun from biting midges confirms insect Cardinium are not a monophyletic group and reveals a novel gene family expansion in a symbiont

PeerJ, 2019
Background It is estimated that 13% of arthropod species carry the heritable symbiont Cardinium hertigii. 16S rRNA and gyrB sequence divides this species into at least four groups (A–D), with the A group infecting a range of arthropods, the B group ...

Host Associations Of Biting Midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae: Culicoides) Near Sentinel Chicken Surveillance Locations In Florida, USA.

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2019
Quantifying host use is important for understanding transmission of vector-borne pathogens. Despite the importance of biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in pathogen transmission, the vector-host relationships of most Culicoides species are poorly ...

The Study on Culicoides: The Environment They Live in and Trypanosomatids They Coexist

Insects
Information on Culicoides transmitted parasites, especially trypanosomatids, infecting animals and insects, is scarce. Our goal was to clarify the seasonal patterns of both Culicoides and trypanosomatids detected in these insects and the relationships ...

To bite or not to bite! A questionnaire-based survey assessing why some people are bitten more than others by midges

BMC Public Health, 2010
Background The Scottish biting midge, Culicoides impunctatus, responsible for more than 90% of biting attacks on human beings in Scotland, is known to demonstrate a preference for certain human hosts over others.

Spatial and temporal variation in the abundance of Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in nine European countries

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Biting midges of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are vectors of bluetongue virus (BTV), African horse sickness virus and Schmallenberg virus (SBV). Outbreaks of both BTV and SBV have affected large parts of Europe.

Avian Blood Parasites (Haemosporida, Trypanosomatida) in Mosquitoes and Biting Midges (Diptera: Culicidae, Ceratopogonidae) Collected in a Lithuanian Zoo

Applied Microbiology
Zoological gardens represent unique sites for vector and vector-borne disease studies. They offer suitable breeding habitats for vector development and a diverse range of vertebrate hosts for blood feeding of insect vectors.
