Host blood meal analysis of Culicoides oxystoma (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Tunisia [PDF]

Parasitology Research
Culicoides are small hematophagous biting midges belonging to the family Ceratopogonidae. The genus is distributed worldwide yet remains poorly studied. This study investigated the vector and host specificity of Culicoides oxystoma, a species of significant relevance to the surveillance of vector-borne diseases in Tunisia and globally. The research was
