Akabane virus isolated from biting midges and its infection in local domestic animal, Yunnan, China: a field and laboratory investigation [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionWe verified that Akabane virus (AKAV) is transmitted through biting midges and infects local domestic animals.MethodsIn 2013, viruses were isolate from biting midges in Yunnan, China, using BHK-21 and C6/36 cells. Two AKAV strains (No. 52 and

First Evidence of Co-Circulation of Emerging Leishmania martiniquensis, Leishmania orientalis, and Crithidia sp. in Culicoides Biting Midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), the Putative Vectors for Autochthonous Transmission in Southern Thailand

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2022
Since 1996, autochthonous cases of emerging leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania (Mundinia) martiniquensis and Leishmania (Mundinia) orientalis have been more frequently reported, especially in the northern and southern parts of Thailand.

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.

What Can Haemosporidian Lineages Found in Culicoides Biting Midges Tell Us about Their Feeding Preferences?

Diversity, 2022
Haemoproteus (Parahaemoproteus) parasites are transmitted by Culicoides biting midges. However, the natural vectors of only six of the almost 180 recognized Haemoproteus species have been identified.

Schmallenberg Virus in Culicoides spp. Biting Midges, the Netherlands, 2011 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
To determine which species of Culicoides biting midges carry Schmallenberg virus (SBV), we assayed midges collected in the Netherlands during autumn 2011. SBV RNA was found in C. scoticus, C. obsoletus sensu stricto, and C. chiopterus.

Biting midges (Ceratopogonidae) as vectors of avian trypanosomes

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Although avian trypanosomes are widespread parasites, the knowledge of their vectors is still incomplete. Despite biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are considered as potential vectors of avian trypanosomes, their role in transmission ...

Seasonal Dynamics of Non-Biting Midges (Diptera: Chironomidae) and Relevant Environmental Factors [PDF]

Insects
The family Chironomidae is speciose and is present in almost all freshwater habitats. Adult non-biting midges emerge from waterbodies and swarm in high numbers, occasionally disrupting people’s outdoor activities.

Experimental BTV-3 and BTV-8 infection of Culicoides sonorensis biting midges [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Bluetongue virus (BTV) is the etiologic agent of a major infectious disease of livestock and is transmitted between its ruminant hosts by Culicoides biting midges. The first outbreak ever recorded in central Europe was caused by serotype BTV-8

DNA barcoding of Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) and detection of Leishmania and other trypanosomatids in southern Thailand [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Biting midges of the genus Culicoides play an important role in the transmission of pathogenic arboviruses and parasites. Thailand has documented more than 100 species of Culicoides; however, several cryptic species complexes remain to be ...
