Measuring between-farm variation in Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) density, the vectors of bluetongue virus [PDF]
Culicoides midges are ubiquitous on farms in the UK, but little research has explored their abundance, an important determinant of disease risk. Models to explain and predict variation in their abundance are needed for effective targeting of control ...
