Predicting the abundance of African horse sickness vectors in South Africa using GIS and artificial neural networks

South African Journal of Science, 2011
African horse sickness (AHS) is a disease that is endemic to sub-Saharan Africa and is caused by a virus potentially transmitted by a number of Culicoides species (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) including Culicoides imicola and Culicoides bolitinos.

First detection of Wolbachia-infected Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Europe: Wolbachia and Cardinium infection across Culicoides communities revealed in Spain

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Biting midges of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) transmit pathogens that cause important diseases. No effective technique has been found to properly control either Culicoides spp.

Occurrence of Culicoides species (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in the Khomas region of Namibia during the winter months [PDF]

Veterinaria Italiana, 2012
Although African horse sickness (AHS) is considered to be endemic in Namibia, limited data on its Culicoides midge vector (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are available.

Estimation of Culicoides imicola's sheep biting rate in France [PDF]

, 2006
As a result of the establishment of a Culicoides imicola population in the south of France, Roquebrune-sur-Argens has become a potentially high risk area for Bluetongue disease. The vectorial capacity, which provides a measure of disease risk, was chosen to estimate risk dynamics during vector activity period in this area.

Diversity of Culicoides in the middle belt of Ghana with Implications on the transmission of Mansonella perstans; a molecular approach

Parasites & Vectors
Background Culicoides, also known as biting midges, carry pathogens which include Mansonella perstans. Mansonella perstans is a nematode parasite implicated in a number of disease outcomes. Even though a high prevalence of about 75% M. perstans infection

Presence of Culicoides imicola (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Jaen, Spain.

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 1995
Culicoides imicola Kieffer is reported from 2 locations in the province of Jaen, Spain. The locations are outside the area where African horse sickness epizootics occurred from 1988 to 1990. The absence of African horse sickness in Jaen during this period may have been due to the low abundance of this species.

Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) midges, the vectors of African horse sickness virus – a host/vector contact study in the Niayes area of Senegal

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background African horse sickness (AHS) is an equine disease endemic to Senegal. The African horse sickness virus (AHSV) is transmitted to the mammalian hosts by midges of the Culicoides Latreille genus.

Seasonal abundance of Culicoides imicola and C. obsoletus in the Balearic islands.

Veterinaria italiana, 2010
An outbreak of bluetongue (BT) was declared on the Balearic islands of Spain in September and October 2000. In 2001 and 2002, an intensive survey was conducted on cattle farms in Majorca and Minorca for the principal vectors in the Mediterranean Basin, Culicoides imicola and C. obsoletus.
