Ecological niche modelling to estimate the distribution of Culicoides, potential vectors of bluetongue virus in Senegal [PDF]

BMC Ecology, 2019
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 ...

Spatial distribution modelling of Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) biting midges, potential vectors of African horse sickness and bluetongue viruses in Senegal [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background In Senegal, the last epidemic of African horse sickness (AHS) occurred in 2007. The western part of the country (the Niayes area) concentrates modern farms with exotic horses of high value and was highly affected during the 2007 outbreak that ...

Abundance and Diversity of <i>Culicoides</i> Species (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Different Forest Landscapes of Karnataka, India: Implications for <i>Culicoides</i> Borne Diseases. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis, 2023
Culicoides are important vectors for livestock and human pathogens. Wild animals act as reservoirs for important orbiviruses such as bluetongue and African horse sickness viruses. There are only limited studies on the distribution of Culicoides species in forest habitats.

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

Parasitol Res
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

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

Transbound Emerg Dis
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]

Transbound Emerg Dis
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 ...
