Assessment of vector/host contact: comparison of animal-baited traps and UV-light/suction trap for collecting Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), vectors of Orbiviruses [PDF]
BACKGROUND The emergence and massive spread of bluetongue in Western Europe during 2006-2008 had disastrous consequences for sheep and cattle production and confirmed the ability of Palaearctic Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) to transmit the virus.

National Seroprevalence and Risk Factors of Bluetongue Virus in Domestic Ruminants of Peru
Bluetongue (BT) is a viral infection caused by the bluetongue virus (BTV) that affects domestic and wild ruminants worldwide. It is primarily transmitted by Culicoides spp. midges, and its infection is highly prevalent across temperate and tropical regions.

Studies on the Particles of Infantile Gastroenteritis Virus (Orbivirus Group)
Isopycnic centrifugation of infantile gastroenteritis virus (orbivirus group) in a CsCl gradient produced up to four bands at densities 1.38, 1.36, 1.30 and 1.28 g/ml. The particles in the bands had sedimentation coefficients of 380-400S, 520-530S, 270-280S and 320-330S, respectively. Whereas the 1.38 and 1.36 g/ml particles contained RNA, the 1.30 and
