Diversity of Culicoides Latreille, 1809 (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) associated with chicken sheds in Governador Valadares, Brazil: description of a new species within the Culicoides paraensis species group

open access: yesBoletín de la Asociación Española de Entomología
Culicoides biting midges (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) are vectors of pathogens, including the emerging Oropouche virus in Latin America. Large areas of Brazil remain poorly surveyed in terms of species diversity.

Clinical signs, clinical pathology and outcomes in horses infected naturally with equine encephalosis virus

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 434-443, March 2026.
Abstract Background Equine encephalosis (EE) is caused by an Orbivirus from the family Sedoreoviridae and is thus similar to African horse sickness (AHS) and Bluetongue viruses (BTV). These viruses are transmitted by Culicoides midges. Equine encephalosis can infect horses, donkeys and zebras sub‐clinically while only horses develop clinical disease ...

Spatiotemporal patterns in British racing and equestrian sports: Implications for pathogen transmission

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 497-507, March 2026.
Abstract Background The widespread assumption that there is minimal potential for pathogen transmission between British racehorse and sport horse populations remains unverified by empirical evidence. Objectives To characterise spatiotemporal patterns of horse attendance at racing and other sport events in Great Britain in 2018.
