On the specificity of avian blood parasites: Revealing specific and generalist relationships between haemosporidians and biting midges

, 2011
The study of host-parasite relationships involving vector-borne parasites requires understanding interactions between parasites and vectors. The capacity of haemosporidians to infect insects has clear evolutionary consequences for the transmission of ...

Identification of host volatiles and their role in the behavioural modulation of host-seeking Culicoides biting midges [Elektronisk resurs]

, 2014
Culicoides biting midges are important vectors of Bluetongue and Schmallenberg viruses in Europe. The introduction of these viruses highlighted the need to develop novel surveillance and control tools to monitor and manage biting midges.

Fauna and Dominant Species of Bloodsucking Biting Midges (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae, Leptoconopidae) of the Ukrainian Polessie

, 1976
The article deals with the problems of blood-sucking biting midges fauna in the Ukrainian Polessie and with dynamics of dominant species in three stationary points. The predominance of 4-6 species in all biotopes is a characteristic feature of the biting
