Circadian activity of Culicoides oxystoma (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), potential vector of bluetongue and African horse sickness viruses in the Niayes area, Senegal [PDF]

Parasitology Research, 2015
Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are important vectors of arboviruses in Africa. Culicoides oxystoma has been recently recorded in the Niayes region of Senegal (West Africa) and its high abundance on horses suggests a potential implication in the transmission of the African horse sickness virus in this region.

Host blood meal analysis of Culicoides oxystoma (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Tunisia [PDF]

Parasitology Research
Culicoides are small hematophagous biting midges belonging to the family Ceratopogonidae. The genus is distributed worldwide yet remains poorly studied. This study investigated the vector and host specificity of Culicoides oxystoma, a species of significant relevance to the surveillance of vector-borne diseases in Tunisia and globally. The research was

Culicoides Oxystoma a Potential Vector for Transmission of Bluetongue Virus 16 in Southern India

THE INDIAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY SCIENCES AND BIOTECHNOLOGY, 2017
Bluetongue (BT) is a Culicoides vector borne disease of domestic and wild ruminants. It is caused by bluetongue virus (BTV). BT is infectious but non-contagious disease. The head–thorax region of Culicoides Oxystoma vector trapped on animal farm in TN was triturated and inoculated in BHK- 21 cell culture.
