Putative roles of mosquitoes (Culicidae) and biting midges (Culicoides spp.) as mechanical or biological vectors of lumpy skin disease virus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2022
The stable fly Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae) is considered as the main mechanical vector of the lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). In addition, the mosquito species Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) was shown to transmit the virus from donor to ...

Natural Vector of Avian Haemoproteus asymmetricus Parasite and Factors Altering the Spread of Infection

Insects, 2023
Avian haemosporidians (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida) are widespread blood protists, often causing severe haemosporidiosis, pathology, or even mortality in their hosts.

Vector competence of Culicoides biting midges from Switzerland for African horse sickness virus and epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus.

Schweizer Archiv für Tierheilkunde, 2022
INTRODUCTION Culicoides biting midges unexpectedly arose in Europe as highly efficient vectors of bluetongue virus in the epidemics that started in the Netherlands in 2006. They are known vectors of other orbiviruses, such as African horse sickness (AHSV)

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

, 2012
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 ...

DNA Barcoding of genus Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in the Brazilian Amazon.

Acta Tropica, 2022
Culicoides biting midges are capable to transmit Oropouche virus, Bluetongue virus and Mansonella spp. This study aimed to assess the utility of DNA barcode as an alternative method in the Culicoides species identification.

Identity and diversity of blood meal hosts of biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae: Culicoides Latreille) in Denmark

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background Host preference studies in haematophagous insects e.g. Culicoides biting midges are pivotal to assess transmission routes of vector-borne diseases and critical for the development of veterinary contingency plans to identify which species ...

The antiviral RNAi response in vector and non-vector cells against orthobunya viruses [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Vector arthropods control arbovirus replication and spread through antiviral innate immune responses including RNA interference (RNAi) pathways. Arbovirus infections have been shown to induce the exogenous small interfering RNA (siRNA) and
