Culicoides and midge-associated arboviruses on cattle farms in Yunnan Province, China [PDF]
Culicoides spp. (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are small biting midges, some of which are the vectors of arboviruses affecting livestock, i.e., African horse sickness virus (AHSV), bluetongue virus (BTV), and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV ...

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

Ecological niche modelling to estimate the distribution of Culicoides, potential vectors of bluetongue virus in Senegal [PDF]
Background Vector-borne diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in humans and animals. In the Afrotropical region, some are transmitted by Culicoides, such as Akabane, bluetongue, epizootic haemorrhagic fever and African horse ...
