Modeling the global distribution of Culicoides imicola: an Ensemble approach. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
Culicoides imicola is a midge species serving as vector for a number of viral diseases of livestock, including Bluetongue, and African Horse Sickness. C. imicola is also known to transmit Schmallenberg virus experimentally.

Updating the global occurrence of Culicoides imicola, a vector for emerging viral diseases. [PDF]

Sci Data, 2019
Culicoides imicola is the main vector transmitting viruses causing animal diseases such as Bluetongue, African Horse Sickness, and Schmallenberg. It has become widely distributed, with reports from South Africa to southern Europe, and from western Africa

Modelling the Spatial Distribution of Culicoides imicola: Climatic versus Remote Sensing Data [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2014
Culicoides imicola is the main vector of the bluetongue virus in the Mediterranean Basin. Spatial distribution models for this species traditionally employ either climatic data or remotely sensed data, or a combination of both.

Colonisation history of a vector species of veterinary interest: phylogeography of Culicoides imicola (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in the Indian Ocean revealing low genetic structure. [PDF]

Parasite
Culicoides imicola (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) is the main historical vector of livestock viruses such as bluetongue virus (BTV), Epizootic Haemorrhagic Disease virus (EHDV) and African Horse Sickness virus (AHSV), in the Afrotropical region.

Detection of Peste des petits ruminants virus RNA in Culicoides imicola (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Turkey

Veterinaria Italiana, 2019
An outbreak of Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) occurred in the Antalya Province in Turkey during  October  2015.  The  Antalya  Province  has  suitable  habitats  for  vectors.  There  is  no  information  available  on  the  role  of  Culicoides  spp.

An updated checklist of Culicoides Latreille, 1809 biting midges from the highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
The highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are home to critically endangered eastern gorillas (Gorilla beringei). Climate change could increase the abundance and distribution of Culicoides‐borne diseases. We utilized morphological and molecular techniques to identify Culicoides spp.

Identification and mapping of potential and highly likely vectors for selected vector-borne diseases in the EU and neighbouring countries. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract This report addresses Term of Reference 1.2 by providing a comprehensive knowledge‐mapping of arthropod vector species competent to transmit selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) including VBDs listed under Regulation (EU) 2016/429 and Regulation (EU) 2020/687, as well as additional non‐listed pathogens with potential epidemiological relevance.

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower-packing plants in Kenya. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.
