Bluetongue virus infection creates light averse Culicoides vectors and serious errors in transmission risk estimates. [PDF]
, 2015 BackgroundPathogen manipulation of host behavior can greatly impact vector-borne disease transmission, but almost no attention has been paid to how it affects disease surveillance.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 41-58, February 2026.Lagrangian atmospheric models were used in conjunction with ecophysiological factors to reconstruct the path and meteorological conditions of a long‐range migration flight of spruce budworm moths to Newfoundland, Canada. Moths travelled under high winds and warm temperatures that favoured their migratory flight until encountering cooler temperatures ...

Host-feeding patterns of Aedes (Aedimorphus) vexans arabiensis, a Rift Valley Fever virus vector in the Ferlo pastoral ecosystem of Senegal [PDF]
, 2019 Background: Host-vector contact is a key factor in vectorial capacity assessment and thus the transmission of mosquito-borne viruses such as Rift Valley Fever (RVF), an emerging zoonotic disease of interest in West Africa.

Virus and host factors affecting the clinical outcome of bluetongue virus infection [PDF]
, 2014 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 ...

Arrival of Oropouche Virus in a Nonendemic Area in Northeastern Brazil, 2024
Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Orthobunyavirus oropoucheense (OROV) causes Oropouche fever, which exhibits symptoms similar to those of other arboviral diseases. Although it has historically been restricted to the Amazon region, the virus has recently spread to other areas of Brazil.
