The phenology and population dynamics of Culicoides spp. in different ecosystems in the Netherlands [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Culicoides

open access: yes, 2014
Culicoides sp. We examined a single specimen of Culicoides collected near a cave in a forest area from Amazonas State, which has a similar wing pattern to C. reticulatus Lutz. It differ from this species and the other seven new species described here by the aspect of the third palpal segment, which is cylindrical, without pits, with scattered sensilla ...

RNA interference targets arbovirus replication in Culicoides cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Arboviruses are transmitted to vertebrate hosts by biting arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks and midges. These viruses replicate in both arthropods and vertebrates and are thus exposed to different antiviral responses in these organisms.

Distribution of Culicoides in Greece [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Vector Ecology, 2009
Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) were trapped between 1999 and 2004 at 122 locations in mainland Greece and on most of the larger Aegean and Ionian islands, using OVI light traps, in order to determine the distribution and seasonal activity of bluetongue virus vectors and other Culicoides species.

Transmission and control of African Horse Sickness in The Netherlands: a model analysis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
African horse sickness (AHS) is an equine viral disease that is spread by Culicoides spp. Since the closely related disease bluetongue established itself in The Netherlands in 2006, AHS is considered a potential threat for the Dutch horse population.

Potential role of ticks as vectors of bluetongue virus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
When the first outbreak of bluetongue virus serotype 8 (BTV8) was recorded in North-West Europe in August 2006 and renewed outbreaks occurred in the summer of 2007 and again in 2008, the question was raised how the virus survived the winter.

Culicoides species composition and molecular identification of host blood meals at two zoos in the UK

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Culicoides biting midges are biological vectors of arboviruses including bluetongue virus (BTV), Schmallenberg virus (SBV) and African horse sickness virus (AHSV). Zoos are home to a wide range of ‘at risk’ exotic and native species of animals.

Host preferences of vector culicoides (diptera, ceratopogonidae, culicoides latreille) species in türkiye [PDF]

open access: yesKafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2023
Determination of host preferences of blood-feeding arthropods is an important criterion for how ectoparasite-host interactions, host selection, and feeding behaviour affects pathogen transmission.

Thermal limits for flight activity of field-collected Culicoides in the United Kingdom defined under laboratory conditions

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are biological vectors of internationally important arboviruses and inflict biting nuisance on humans, companion animals and livestock.
