Natural infection with Leishmania (Mundinia) martiniquensis supports Culicoides peregrinus (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) as a potential vector of leishmaniasis and characterization of a Crithidia sp. isolated from the midges. [PDF]

Front Microbiol, 2023
The prevalence of autochthonous leishmaniasis in Thailand is increasing but the natural vectors that are responsible for transmission remain unknown. Experimental in vivo infections in Culicoides spp.

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.

Isolation and Genetic Characterization of Three Palyam Serogroup Orbiviruses From <i>Culicoides</i> Spp. and Associated Infections in Cattle in Yunnan, China. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Palyam serogroup virus (PALV) is a potential pathogen prevalent in Asia, Australia, and Africa that may cause abortion and teratogenesis in ruminants, especially cattle. In this study, we isolated three PALV strains (MY_C17, ML_C40, and SZ_C06) from Culicoides spp.

Real-Time Reverse Transcription Multienzyme Isothermal Rapid Amplification for Rapid Detection of African Horse Sickness Virus. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
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 ...

Host Landing And Diel Activity of Potent Vectors of Bluetongue Disease, Culicoides Oxystoma and Culicoides Peregrinus [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract Background The spread of bluetongue virus depends on the vectorial ability of Culicoides affecting the susceptible host. Animal farms in West Bengal have reported prevalence of potent vectors of BTV (C. oxystoma, C. peregrinus and C. fulvus).

Molecular epidemiology of Akabane virus in Taiwan

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 2215-2222, September 2022., 2022
This study provided genomic information on the Taiwanese akabane virus between 1994–2015. The result of phylogenetic analysis indicated two invasion events to shape virus population in Taiwan. And two invasion events of the akabane virus from Taiwan to the Yaeyama islands might happen in 1990 and 1998.

DNA barcoding and surveillance sampling strategies for Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in southern India [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Culicoides spp. biting midges transmit bluetongue virus (BTV), the aetiological agent of bluetongue (BT), an economically important disease of ruminants.
