Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease Virus: Current Knowledge and Emerging Perspectives
Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) of ruminants is a viral pathology that has significant welfare, social, and economic implications. The causative agent, epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV), belongs to the Orbivirus genus and leads to ...

Culicoides insignis, Culicoides stellifer and Culicoides venustus are suspected Bluetongue Virus vectors in the United States and could potentially influence the transmission of Bluetongue Virus to ruminant livestock. Habitat suitability models predicted suitable habitat for C. insignis in Florida and along the coast, C.

Phylogenetic relationships and molecular delimitation of Culicoides Latreille (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) species in the Afrotropical region: interest for the subgenus Avaritia [PDF]
Phylogenetic relationships of Culicoides species of the Afrotropical region are problematic as different authors disagree on the placement of species into specific subgenera or groups.

How do species, population and active ingredient influence insecticide susceptibility in Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) of veterinary importance? [PDF]
Background Culicoides biting midges are biological vectors of internationally important arboviruses of livestock and equines. Insecticides are often employed against Culicoides as a part of vector control measures, but systematic assessments of their ...

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 ...

Metavirome Identification and Pathogenicity Evaluation of Tibet Orbivirus in Pigs
Tibet orbivirus (TIBOV) is an orbivirus transmitted by mosquitoes and Culicoides, despite specific neutralizing antibodies being detected in pigs, but the molecular genetic characteristics of TIBOV strains in infected pigs are completely uncharted, and their pathogenicity in piglets is poorly elucidated.

Bluetongue and epizootic hemorrhagic disease in La Réunion; a burden on ruminant farming [PDF]
Since 2002, the livestock of Réunion Island has been subject to reoccurring outbreaks of Bluetongue (BT) and Epizootic Hemorrhage Disease (EHD). To find out a solution to this problem, that can have severe financial implications to ruminant farmers, a ...
