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

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

Molecular epidemiology of Akabane virus in Taiwan
This study provided genomic information on the Taiwanese akabane virus between 1994–2015. The result of phylogenetic analysis indicated two invasion events to shape virus population in Taiwan. And two invasion events of the akabane virus from Taiwan to the Yaeyama islands might happen in 1990 and 1998.
