Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 260-267, June 2026.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.

Faunistic inventory of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Mauritius Island, Indian Ocean: Diversity and spatial distribution of species of veterinary interest Inventaire faunistique du genre Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) sur l'île Maurice dans l'océan Indien: diversité et répartition spatiale des espèces présentant un intérêt vétérinaire

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 282-293, June 2026.
Four Afrotropical Culicoides species are recorded in Mauritius with suspected or historically involvement in BTV and EHDV transmission. All species were distributed all over the island. While intra‐specific morphological variations were detected, genetic analyses did not reveal any cryptic diversity. Abstract Viruses transmitted by biting midge species

An updated checklist of Culicoides Latreille, 1809 biting midges from the highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo Une liste mise à jour des moucherons piqueurs de Culicoides Latreille, 1809 des hautes terres de l'est de la République démocratique du Congo

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 422-440, June 2026.
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.

Pseudorandomised controlled trial of a novel navel barrier solution versus 10% iodine to protect navel and ear tag sites of neonatal lambs

Veterinary Record, Volume 198, Issue 10, Page e444-e452, 16/23 May 2026.
Abstract Background During lambing, 10% iodine is often used to protect neonatal navel and ear tag sites. The evidence for its effectiveness is sparse. Recently, a specific navel barrier solution (NBS) was developed. Here, an in vivo field trial compared the two treatments. Methods Ten farms reported data from 6840 lambs. The navel and ear tag sites of

Adapted Live SARS‐CoV‐2 Vaccine Elicits Rapid Mucosal Immunity, Protects From Disease, and Reduces Shedding of XBB.1.5

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 5, May 2026.
An attenuated live vaccine (OTS‐300) expressing the XBB.1.5 Spike provided rapid and complete protection against homologous challenge in the hamster model, accompanied by fast systemic and mucosal antibody responses and markedly reduced transmission compared with XBB.1.5 mRNA vaccination.

Lack of Evidence for Schmallenberg Virus Infection in Highly Exposed Persons, Germany, 2012

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Schmallenberg virus, a novel orthobunyavirus, is spreading among ruminants, especially sheep, throughout Europe. To determine the risk for human infection, we conducted a survey among shepherds to assess possible exposure and symptoms.

First Complete Morphological Description of Schistosoma Reflexum in a Llama

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Schistosoma reflexum (SR) is a lethal congenital malformation characterized by severe spinal retroflexion, thoracoabdominoschisis with visceral exposure. This case report aims to describe the morphology and pathology of SR in a llama. A white male llama (Lama glama) cria was delivered with dystocia following a normal gestation.

Schmallenberg Virus in Culicoides spp. Biting Midges, the Netherlands, 2011

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
To determine which species of Culicoides biting midges carry Schmallenberg virus (SBV), we assayed midges collected in the Netherlands during autumn 2011. SBV RNA was found in C. scoticus, C. obsoletus sensu stricto, and C. chiopterus.

Schmallenberg virus – Is it present in South Africa?

Journal of the South African Veterinary Association, 2013
In July 2006, a case of two out of three lambs born to one ewe in a flock of 45 had signs that, in retrospect, were possibly consistent with Schmallenberg virus infection. This occurred in the Onderstepoort area (Gauteng Province) but a definitive diagnosis was not made.
