The genus Leptoconops is poorly investigated, despite its ecological relevance and biting nuisance. The studies in Italy focused only on the coastal areas. Inland populations of Leptoconops noei are documented for the first time in Italy. We record their presence in an area covering Siena district, Tuscany region, in an atypical environment for the ...

Culicoides species involved in the BTV‐3 epidemic, the Netherlands, 2023–2024
A high amount of Culicoides‐midges were captured using Onderstepoort light traps on farms with animals infected with bluetongue serotype 3 (BTV‐3) at the beginning of the outbreak in 2023. Species, sex and parity of the captured Culicoides‐midges were morphologically determined and gravid and parous Culicoides‐midges have been selected and pooled for ...

Virus and host factors affecting the clinical outcome of bluetongue virus infection [PDF]
Bluetongue is a major infectious disease of ruminants caused by bluetongue virus (BTV), an arbovirus transmitted by Culicoides. Here, we assessed virus and host factors influencing the clinical outcome of BTV infection using a single experimental ...
