Exploring the diversity of blood-sucking Diptera in caves of Central Africa

Scientific Reports, 2017
Caves house pathogenic microorganisms, some of which are transmitted by blood-sucking arthropods. In Africa, previous studies identified mosquitoes, sand flies and biting midges as the main potential vectors of cave-dwelling pathogens.

The salivary secretome of the biting midge,Culicoides sonorensis

PeerJ, 2014
Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are hematophagous insects with over 1400 species distributed throughout the world. Many of these species are of particular agricultural importance as primary vectors of bluetongue and Schmallenberg viruses, yet little is known about Culicoides genomics and proteomics.

Blood meal analysis of culicoides (Diptera: ceratopogonidae) in central Tunisia.

PLoS ONE, 2015
To evaluate the host preferences of Culicoides species (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Central Tunisia, we identified the source of blood meals of field collected specimens by sequencing of the cytochrome b (cyt b) mitochondrial locus and Prepronociceptine

The Study on Culicoides: The Environment They Live in and Trypanosomatids They Coexist

Insects
Information on Culicoides transmitted parasites, especially trypanosomatids, infecting animals and insects, is scarce. Our goal was to clarify the seasonal patterns of both Culicoides and trypanosomatids detected in these insects and the relationships ...

Identification of host volatiles and their role in the behavioural modulation of host-seeking Culicoides biting midges [PDF]

, 2014
Culicoides biting midges are important vectors of Bluetongue and Schmallenberg viruses in Europe. The introduction of these viruses highlighted the need to develop novel surveillance and control tools to monitor and manage biting midges.
