Profiling of RNA Viruses in Biting Midges (Ceratopogonidae) and Related Diptera from Kenya Using Metagenomics and Metabarcoding Analysis

Msphere, 2021
The majority of the viruses that currently cause diseases in humans and animals are RNA viruses, and more specifically arthropod-transmitted viruses. They cause diseases such as dengue, West Nile infection, bluetongue disease, Schmallenberg disease, and ...

Assessment of vector/host contact: comparison of animal-baited traps and UV-light/suction trap for collecting Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), vectors of Orbiviruses [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND The emergence and massive spread of bluetongue in Western Europe during 2006-2008 had disastrous consequences for sheep and cattle production and confirmed the ability of Palaearctic Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) to transmit the virus.
