Vector competence of British Culicoides species for Bluetongue virus serotype 8 [PDF]
, 2009 The proportion of infected vectors which are able to transmit an arbovirus to a susceptible host has a significant impact on the epidemic potential of such a virus. Assessing vector competence is therefore crucial to evaluate accurately the risk posed by

The phenology and population dynamics of Culicoides spp. in different ecosystems in the Netherlands [PDF]
, 2008 The Netherlands has enjoyed a relatively free state of vector-borne diseases of economic importance for more than one century. Emerging infectious diseases may change this situation, threatening the health of humans, domestic livestock and wildlife.
