Composition and seasonality of Culicoides in three host environments in Rabat region (Morocco)

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2020
Morocco has suffered several outbreaks of Culicoides-borne viruses in recent decades and most studies have focused on Culicoides imicola, considered for a long time as the only important vector.

Presence in the Balearic Islands (Spain) of the midges Culicoides imicola and Culicoides obsoletus group [PDF]

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2003
Abstract. An outbreak of the livestock viral disease bluetongue (BT) was detected during September and October 2000 in the Balearic Islands, Spain. Due to the lack of information about the species of Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) reported in the affected area, six ...

Host preferences of vector culicoides (diptera, ceratopogonidae, culicoides latreille) species in türkiye [PDF]

Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2023
Determination of host preferences of blood-feeding arthropods is an important criterion for how ectoparasite-host interactions, host selection, and feeding behaviour affects pathogen transmission.

Emergence of Blue Tongue in the Mediterranean Basin and Entomological Surveillance in France

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2005
Bluetongue (BT) is an arboviral disease transmitted by biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), which emerged in the Mediterranean in 1998 as a result of the northern spread of its main vector Culicoides imicola Kieffer 1913. In France, C.

Detection of bluetongue virus in Culicoides spp. in southern Yunnan Province, China

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are vectors for many arboviruses. At least 20 species are considered as vectors or potential vectors of bluetongue virus (BTV) which cause bluetongue disease in ruminants.

Egg Surface Morphology of the Vectors Culicoides imicola Kieffer, Culicoides orientalis Macfie, and Culicoides arakawae (Arakawa) (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) Using Scanning Electron Microscopy

Records of the Zoological Survey of India
The taxonomic distinction of the adult Culicoides spp. (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), is primarily based on characters, particularly its wing pattern. Entomological enumeration often leads to misidentifications and thus raises the proliferation of synonyms.

Design and optimisation of rapid real‐time PCR assays for the detection of key Culicoides species

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Species‐specific real‐time PCR assays were designed and optimised using primer/probe sets targeting C. obsoletus, C. scoticus, C. chiopterus, C. dewulfi, C. pulicaris, C. punctatus and C. impunctatus. Primer specificity and amplification efficiency were validated through in silico specificity analysis and real‐time PCR amplification profiling.

Spatio-temporal modelling of Culicoides Latreille (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) populations on Reunion Island (Indian Ocean)

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Reunion Island regularly faces outbreaks of bluetongue and epizootic hemorrhagic diseases, two insect-borne orbiviral diseases of ruminants. Hematophagous midges of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are the vectors of bluetongue (

Modelling temporal dynamics of Culicoides Latreille (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) populations on Reunion Island (Indian Ocean), vectors of viruses of veterinary importance

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Reunion Island regularly faces outbreaks of epizootic haemorrhagic disease (EHD) and bluetongue (BT), two viral diseases transmitted by haematophagous midges of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) to ruminants.

Seasonal dynamics of Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) biting midges, potential vectors of African horse sickness and bluetongue viruses in the Niayes area of Senegal

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background The African horse sickness epizootic in Senegal in 2007 caused considerable mortality in the equine population and hence major economic losses.
