Abundance and Diversity of <i>Culicoides</i> Species (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Different Forest Landscapes of Karnataka, India: Implications for <i>Culicoides</i> Borne Diseases. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis, 2023
Culicoides are important vectors for livestock and human pathogens. Wild animals act as reservoirs for important orbiviruses such as bluetongue and African horse sickness viruses. There are only limited studies on the distribution of Culicoides species in forest habitats.

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).
