Molecular detection of parasites and host preference in wild-caught Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Chiang Mai and Nakhon Si Thammarat Provinces, Thailand [PDF]

Parasite
Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) have been reported as potential vectors for haemoparasites. Information about host-vector-parasite specificity is required to confirm their status.

Biting midges of Egypt (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020
This study is one in a series of planned studies on different Egyptian dipteran taxa aiming to catalogue the whole order in Egypt.All known Egyptian taxa of the family Ceratopogonidae (biting midges) are systematically catalogued. A total number of 64 species belonging to 11 genera, four tribes and four subfamilies has been treated. Data for this study

Diversity, Abundance and Host Blood Meal Analysis of Culicoides Latreille (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) from Cattle Pens in Different Land Use Types from Thailand

Insects, 2023
Biting midges of the genus Culicoides Latreille are significant pests and vectors that transmit pathogens to humans and other animals. Cattle are among the important livestock that can potentially be severely affected by Culicoides.

Thermal preference of adult mosquitoes (Culicidae) and biting midges (Ceratopogonidae) at different altitudes in Switzerland

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2023
Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) and biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are among the most important vectors of human and veterinary pathogens. For modelling the distribution of these pathogens, entomological aspects are essential, which in turn are

Occurrence, Activity and Control Options Against Biting Midges (Diptera: Culicoides) in Horses

Folia Veterinaria, 2023
Biting midges are insects which annoy horses as they cause discomfort and by the sucking of blood, they cause painful lesions that, in certain cases, can trigger acute allergic reactions. They also act as potential vectors of many pathogens of bacterial,

Species delimitation and mitonuclear discordance within a species complex of biting midges

Scientific Reports, 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
