Range expansion of the Bluetongue vector, Culicoides imicola, in continental France likely due to rare wind-transport events. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2016
The role of the northward expansion of Culicoides imicola Kieffer in recent and unprecedented outbreaks of Culicoides-borne arboviruses in southern Europe has been a significant point of contention. We combined entomological surveys, movement simulations

Faunistic inventory of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Mauritius Island, Indian Ocean: Diversity and spatial distribution of species of veterinary interest. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
Four Afrotropical Culicoides species are recorded in Mauritius with suspected or historically involvement in BTV and EHDV transmission. All species were distributed all over the island. While intra‐specific morphological variations were detected, genetic analyses did not reveal any cryptic diversity. Abstract Viruses transmitted by biting midge species

Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) feeding on donkeys in the United Kingdom, with reference to the risk of transmission and persistence of African horse sickness virus. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
Culicoides biting midges were collected at a donkey sanctuary in the United Kingdom using UV light‐suction traps. Culicoides were found in abundance and all specimens were identified to species level. Blood‐feeding on donkeys was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of host bloodmeals. Donkeys could play a significant role in the

Occurrence of Culicoides spp. (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Tunisia, with emphasis on the bluetongue vector Culicoides imicola [PDF]

Parasite, 2008
Following the bluetongue (BT) outbreaks in Tunisia from 1999 to 2002, BTV (bluetongue virus) serotype 2 was isolated; however, no entomological investigation was performed.

Spatio-temporal genetic variation of the biting midge vector species Culicoides imicola (Ceratopogonidae) Kieffer in France. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2016
Introduction of vector species into new areas represents a main driver for the emergence and worldwide spread of vector-borne diseases. This poses a substantial threat to livestock economies and public health.

Bluetongue Virus Surveillance in Yunnan, China, 2025: Isolation of Multiple Serotypes From Culicoides and Seasonal Seroepidemiology in Cattle. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Bluetongue (BT) virus (BTV) is an arthropod‐borne pathogen that causes substantial economic losses in ruminants globally. Yunnan Province, located in China’s tropical and subtropical border region, faces a high risk of BTV circulation. This study monitored BTV vectors, genetically characterized circulating BTV strains, and assessed seroprevalence to ...

Bluetongue Virus in Cervids in Piedmont During the 2024-2025 Outbreak. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
During the 2024–2025 bluetongue outbreak in Piedmont, 15 hunted cervids (12 red deer and three fallow deer) tested positive for BTV. These cases add to the 1066 infections detected in livestock, indicating the involvement of wild ungulates in viral circulation. Findings suggest the potential role of wild species as sentinel animals.

Culicoides and midge-associated arboviruses on cattle farms in Yunnan Province, China [PDF]

Parasite
Culicoides spp. (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are small biting midges, some of which are the vectors of arboviruses affecting livestock, i.e., African horse sickness virus (AHSV), bluetongue virus (BTV), and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV ...

Temporospatial distribution of Culicoides species and Culicoides imicola in northern Jordan

Veterinary Science Development, 2016
The aim of this study was to estimate geographical distribution of Culicoides species and Culicoides imicola in northern governorates of Jordan. The study was conducted by placing light traps in four climatically different geographical locations during ...

Bluetongue in China: Current Status of Viruses, Vectors, Detection Methods, and Vaccines. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Bluetongue (BT) is a vector‐borne viral disease caused by the bluetongue virus (BTV), which can affect a variety of wild and domestic ruminants. Due to its significant impact on ruminant health and national economies, BT is classified as a notifiable multispecies disease by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH).
