Faunistic inventory of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Mauritius Island, Indian Ocean: Diversity and spatial distribution of species of veterinary interest. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
Four Afrotropical Culicoides species are recorded in Mauritius with suspected or historically involvement in BTV and EHDV transmission. All species were distributed all over the island. While intra‐specific morphological variations were detected, genetic analyses did not reveal any cryptic diversity. Abstract Viruses transmitted by biting midge species

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower-packing plants in Kenya. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.

Bluetongue Virus in Cervids in Piedmont During the 2024-2025 Outbreak. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
During the 2024–2025 bluetongue outbreak in Piedmont, 15 hunted cervids (12 red deer and three fallow deer) tested positive for BTV. These cases add to the 1066 infections detected in livestock, indicating the involvement of wild ungulates in viral circulation. Findings suggest the potential role of wild species as sentinel animals.

What are the vector species of the Oropouche virus? [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Here, we review the timeline of Oropouche virus (OROV) detection in various hematophagous Diptera, from 1955 to date, including mosquitoes and midges. All vector competence experiments also are described. The results suggest that Culicoides are the primary vectors.
