Culicoides biting midges in Spain: A brief overview [PDF]
Small Ruminant Research, 2016 The number of studies on insects of genus Culicoides Latreille, 1809 (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) has increased considerably in Spain since 2000, mainly due to their role as vectors of arboviruses that cause disease in animals, especially ruminants. This paper aims to expose some general considerations about Culicoides biting midges in Spain.

Several genera within the nematocerous family Ceratopogonidae include blood-sucking midges (Fig. 4.1), sometimes misleadingly known as ‘sandflies’, particularly the genus Culicoides in which there are at least 800 decribed species. Culicoides range in size from 1 to 5 mm and, although small, they are fairly robustly built.

Development of Trypanosoma everetti in Culicoides biting midges
Acta Tropica, 2020Trypanosoma species (Trypanosomatida, Kinetoplastea) are almost exclusively heteroxenous flagellated parasites, which have been extensively studied as the causative agents of severe trypanosomiasis in humans and domestic animals. However, the biology of avian trypanosomes remains insufficiently known, particularly in wildlife, despite information that ...

CulicoidesBiting Midges: Their Role as Arbovirus Vectors
Annual Review of Entomology, 2000▪ Abstract Culicoides biting midges are among the most abundant of haematophagous insects, and occur throughout most of the inhabited world. Across this broad range they transmit a great number of assorted pathogens of human, and domestic and wild animals, but it is as vectors of arboviruses, and particularly arboviruses of domestic livestock, that ...

Biting midges (Ceratopogonidae)
1993The Ceratopogonidae form a family of small nematocerous flies, usually less than 3 or 4 mm in length. They are closely related to the Chironomidae, the non-biting midges, but can be distinguished from them by the presence of biting mouthparts in the female, the wing venation and by the short fore legs (Fig. 7.1). They are best known as ′biting midges′ (

The Biting Midge of the West Highlands: Fifty Years of Research
Scottish Medical Journal, 1996The biting midge of the West Highlands belongs to the family Ceratopogonidae and approximately 150 species are known to exist in Britain. All of the flies are of minute size and slender build with wings which fold over the back. The females have biting mouthparts including a needle sharp proboscis with scissor type mandibles. The males do not bite. The
