| seasonal dynamics of culicoides (diptera: ceratopogonidae) biting midges, potential vectors of african horse sickness and bluetongue viruses in the niayes area of senegal. | the african horse sickness epizootic in senegal in 2007 caused considerable mortality in the equine population and hence major economic losses. the vectors involved in the transmission of this arbovirus have never been studied specifically in senegal. this first study of the spatial and temporal dynamics of the culicoides (diptera: ceratopogonidae) species, potential vectors of african horse sickness in senegal, was conducted at five sites (mbao, parc hann, niague, pout and thies) in the niayes ... | 2014 | 24690198 |

| foraging range of arthropods with veterinary interest: new insights for afrotropical culicoides biting midges (diptera: ceratopogonidae) using the ring method. | the identification of blood meal source of arthropod vector species contributes to the understanding of host-vector-pathogen interactions. the aim of the current work was to identify blood meal source in culicoides biting midge species, biological vectors of internationally important arboviruses of livestock and equids, using a new ecological approach. we examined the correlation between blood meal source identified in engorged culicoides females collected in a suction light trap and the availab ... | 2016 | 26826391 |
| culicoides (diptera: ceratopogonidae) midges, the vectors of african horse sickness virus--a host/vector contact study in the niayes area of senegal. | african horse sickness (ahs) is an equine disease endemic to senegal. the african horse sickness virus (ahsv) is transmitted to the mammalian hosts by midges of the culicoides latreille genus. during the last epizootic outbreak of ahs in senegal in 2007, 1,169 horses died from this disease entailing an estimated cost of 1.4 million euros. in spite of the serious animal health and economic implications of ahs, very little is known about determinants involved in transmission such as contact betwee ... | 2015 | 25604465 |
| first record of culicoides oxystoma kieffer and diversity of species within the schultzei group of culicoides latreille (diptera: ceratopogonidae) biting midges in senegal. | the schultzei group of culicoides latreille (diptera: ceratopogonidae) is distributed throughout africa to northern asia and australasia and includes several potential vector species of livestock pathogens. the taxonomy of the species belonging to this species group is confounded by the wide geographical distribution and morphological variation exhibited by many species. in this work, morphological and molecular approaches were combined to assess the taxonomic validity of the species and morphol ... | 2013 | 24386366 |
| biting midges monitoring (diptera: ceratopogonidae: culicoides latreille) in the governate of monastir (tunisia): species composition and molecular investigations. | the results of entomological studies carried out in the governate of monastir (tunisia) in 2009-2010 (captures and emergences from muds) focusing on culicoides species are presented in the present study. identification of culicoides at the species level is based on morphological characters, and a molecular study has been carried out based on mitochondrial dna cytochrome c oxidase i gene (coi) and d1 and d2 domains of the 28s rdna. the dna sequences reported here are related to 10 species (on 25 ... | 2014 | 24825311 |
| new species of the genus culicoides (diptera ceratopogonidae) for tunisia, with detection of bluetongue viruses in vectors. | bluetongue virus (btv) and epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus (ehdv) are double-stranded rna orbiviruses of the reoviridae family. bluetongue virus and ehdv infect domestic and wild ruminants and they are transmitted by biting midges of the genus culicoides (diptera: ceratopogonidae). since 1999, btv outbreaks have occurred in tunisia and 4 serotypes, btv2, btv1, btv4 and btv3, were involved in 2000, 2006, 2009, and 2016, respectively. epizootic haemorrhagic disease was detected for the rst ti ... | 2017 | 29307131 |
