Quantitative risk assessment for the introduction of bluetongue virus into mainland Europe by long‐distance wind dispersal of Culicoides spp.: A case study from Sardinia

Risk Analysis, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 108-127, January 2025.
Abstract Europe faces regular introductions and reintroductions of bluetongue virus (BTV) serotypes, most recently exemplified by the incursion of serotype 3 in the Netherlands. Although the long‐distance wind dispersal of the disease vector, Culicoides spp., is recognized as a virus introduction pathway, it remains understudied in risk assessments.

Real‐Time Reverse Transcription Multienzyme Isothermal Rapid Amplification for Rapid Detection of African Horse Sickness Virus

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
African horse sickness (AHS) is an acute infectious disease of equids caused by the AHS virus (AHSV), which can cause up to 90% mortality in naive horses. Reliable and rapid diagnosis is crucial for the surveillance and control of AHSV. As one of the AHSV detection methods recommended by World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH), the RT‐qPCR assay ...

Spatial and temporal distribution of Culicoides species in mainland Portugal (2005-2010). Results of the Portuguese Entomological Surveillance Programme.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is transmitted by Culicoides biting midges and causes an infectious, non-contagious disease of ruminants. It has been rapidly emerging in southern Europe since 1998. In mainland Portugal, strains of BTV belonging to three serotypes

First Expert Elicitation of Knowledge Conducted in 2023 on Possible Drivers of Observed Increasing Epizootic Haemorrhagic Disease Incidence in Europe

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Epizootic haemorrhagic disease (EHD) is a viral noncontagious arthropod‐borne disease transmitted by blood‐sucking midges of the genus Culicoides. Its causative agent, the EHD virus (EHDV), belongs to the genus Orbivirus and is responsible for domestic and wildlife ruminants’ disease outbreaks, especially in North America, Asia, Africa and Oceania ...

Culicoides imicola in Greece.

Veterinaria italiana, 2010
Culicoides imicola, the major vector of bluetongue virus in Africa and the Middle East, was recorded in Greece for the first time in 1982 following an outbreak of the disease on the island of Lesbos (October 1979). Since then, many hundreds of Culicoides trappings have been made and thousands of Culicoides have been collected from the islands and from ...
