Development and evaluation of real time RT-PCR assays for detection and typing of Bluetongue virus by Richard, Yolande, Maan, Sushila, Maan, Narender Singh, Belaganahalli, Manjunatha N., Potgieter, Abraham C., Kumar, Vinay, Batra, Kanisht, Wright, Isabel M., Kirkland, Peter D., Mertens, Peter P.C.

“…Bluetongue viruses (BTV) are transmitted between their vertebrate hosts primarily by biting midges (Culicoides spp.) in which they also replicate. Consequently BTV distribution is dependent on the activity, geographic distribution, and seasonal abundance of Culicoides spp. …”

Diversity and temporal activity patterns of Diptera associated with captive wild mammals and the efficency of trapping methods by Ho, Jessie Si Wai

“…Twenty species of mosquitoes (Culicidae) were trapped, of which Culex quinquefasciatus, and Aedes albopictus were dominant. Biting midges (Culicoides peregrinus, Culicoides gutiffer and Culicoides actoni) and sand flies (Sergentomyia spp.) were also encountered. …”

Novel in vitro diagnosis of equine allergies using a protein array and mathematical modelling approach: a proof of concept using insect bite hypersensitivity by Marti, E., Wang, X., Jambari, N.N., Rhyner, C., Olzhausen, J., Pérez-Barea, J.J., Figueredo, Grazziela P., Alcocer, Marcos J.C.

“…Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) is a seasonal recurrent skin allergy of horses caused by IgE-mediated reactions to allergens present in the saliva of biting insects of the genus Culicoides, and possibly also Simulium and Stomoxys species. …”

The challenges posed by equine arboviruses by Chapman, Gail Elaine, Baylis, Matthew, Archer, Debra, Daly, Janet M.

“…Equine populations worldwide are at increasing risk of infection by viruses transmitted by biting arthropods including mosquitoes, biting midges (Culicoides), sandflies and ticks. These include the flaviviruses (Japanese encephalitis, West Nile and Murray Valley encephalitis), alphaviruses (eastern, western and Venezuelan encephalitis) and the orbiviruses (African horse sickness and equine encephalosis). …”

Mathematical modelling the emergence of viruses in naïve populations by Fairbanks, Emma Louise

“…First, we focus on the Culicoides-borne virus African horse sickness virus (AHSV), using a systematic search to further the understanding of the dynamics of infection in naïve equines and parameterising a spatio-temporal model for the emergence of AHSV in naïve equids in Morocco 1998. …”
