A Review of the Vector Status of North American \u3ci\u3eCulicoides\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) for Bluetongue Virus, Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease Virus, and Other Arboviruses of Concern [PDF]
Purpose of Review Culicoides biting midges transmit several pathogens of veterinary importance in North America, but the vector status of many midge species is unresolved.

The highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are home to critically endangered eastern gorillas (Gorilla beringei). Climate change could increase the abundance and distribution of Culicoides‐borne diseases. We utilized morphological and molecular techniques to identify Culicoides spp.

Laboratory evaluation of stable isotope labeling of Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) for adult dispersal studies. [PDF]
BackgroundStable isotope labeling is a promising method for use in insect mark-capture and dispersal studies. Culicoides biting midges, which transmit several important animal pathogens, including bluetongue virus (BTV) and epizootic hemorrhagic disease ...

Characterization of a second open reading frame in genome segment 10 of bluetongue virus [PDF]
Viruses have often evolved overlapping reading frames in order to maximise their coding capacity. Until recently, the segmented double-stranded (ds) RNA genome of viruses of the Orbivirus genus was thought to be monocistronic but the identification of ...

Culicoides species involved in the BTV‐3 epidemic, the Netherlands, 2023–2024
A high amount of Culicoides‐midges were captured using Onderstepoort light traps on farms with animals infected with bluetongue serotype 3 (BTV‐3) at the beginning of the outbreak in 2023. Species, sex and parity of the captured Culicoides‐midges were morphologically determined and gravid and parous Culicoides‐midges have been selected and pooled for ...

Bluetongue in China: Current Status of Viruses, Vectors, Detection Methods, and Vaccines
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).

Bluetongue and epizootic haemorrhagic disease viruses in Reunion Island [PDF]
Objective: Bluetongue (BT) and epizootic haemorrhagic disease (EHD) are arthropod-borne diseases of wild and domestic ruminants caused respectively by viruses belonging to the species Bluetongue virus (BTV) and Epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV)

Investigación del virus de importancia médica y veterinaria transmitidos por culicoides [PDF]
The first paper comprises the study of the Bluetongue virus (BTV) and Epizootic Hemorrhagic Virus (EHDV), two orbiviruses transmitted by Culicoides biting midges, and causative agents of disease in wild and domestic ruminants.

Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is a Culicoides‐borne Orthobunyavirus causing congenital malformations and reproductive losses in ruminants, with substantial economic and livestock health impacts across Europe. While outbreaks have been linked to specific climatic and environmental conditions, the drivers of SBV transmission in endemic regions remain poorly ...
