The effect of anthropogenic activity on the occurrence of Culicoides species in the South-Western Khomas Region, Namibia [PDF]

Veterinaria Italiana, 2013
Certain species of midges in the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are vectors of several serious orbiviral (Reoviridae) diseases, one of which, African horse sickness (AHS), was reported in the South-Western area of Khomas Region, Namibia ...

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

, 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.

Parasite load effects on sex ratio, size, survival and mating fitness of Heleidomermis magnapapula in Culicoides sonorensis

Journal of Nematology, 2023
Heleidomermis magnapapula parasitizes the blood-feeding midge Culicoides sonorensis. Most (84%) single mermithid infective second stage juveniles (J2) developed into adult females, while parasitism by multiple J2 yielded 97% male adults.

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

, 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.

Conspecific cueing or cooperative feeding?—Foraging stable flies are visually attracted to conspecific flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
In two‐choice laboratory bioassays, food‐deprived and CO2‐stimulated stable flies were offered paired landing platforms that were baited or not (control) with conspecific flies. The presence of conspecifics prompted the attraction and landing of foraging stable flies.

Sampling of Culicoides with nontraditional methods provides unusual species composition and new records for southern Spain

Parasites & Vectors
Background Culicoides midges have been well-studied in Spain, particularly over the last 20 years, mainly because of their role as vectors of arboviral diseases that affect livestock.

Modelling temporal dynamics of Culicoides Latreille (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) populations on Reunion Island (Indian Ocean), vectors of viruses of veterinary importance

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Reunion Island regularly faces outbreaks of epizootic haemorrhagic disease (EHD) and bluetongue (BT), two viral diseases transmitted by haematophagous midges of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) to ruminants.
