Biting Midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) as Vectors of Viruses
Microorganisms, 2023 Biting midges of the genus Culicoides occur almost globally and can regionally and seasonally reach high abundances. Most species are hematophagous, feeding on all groups of vertebrates, including humans. In addition to being nuisance pests, they are able to transmit disease agents, with some viruses causing high morbidity and/or mortality in ruminants,

Culicoides biting midges in urban areas of northern Spain [PDF]
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 223-227, March 2025.Culicoides biting midges showed high species richness (18 species) but low abundance in urban parks and cemeteries in northern Spain. The Obsoletus complex (Culicoides obsoletus and Culicoides scoticus) was the predominant taxon in urban environments, peaking in early June in green areas and in May in cemeteries. Host feeding patterns revealed an avian
