| field studies on culicoides (diptera: ceratopogonidae) activity and response to deltamethrin applications to sheep in northeastern spain. | an enclosure trapping experiment compared numbers and engorgement of culicoides spp. taken from treated sheep (7.5% deltamethrin) to culicoides from untreated sheep. attack rates were low (0.2/min), but 58% of culicoides obsoletus s.l. and 67% of culicoides parroti kieffer engorged on untreated sheep, and no engorgement occurred on treated sheep on 0 and 4 d posttreatment. a uv light trap in a livestock barn collected eight culicoides spp. (510 individuals), dominated by c. obsoletus (meigen) (6 ... | 2010 | 20180316 |
| assessment of vector/host contact: comparison of animal-baited traps and uv-light/suction trap for collecting culicoides biting midges (diptera: ceratopogonidae), vectors of orbiviruses. | abstract: | 2011 | 21707980 |
| some new records of culicoides species (diptera: ceratopogonidae) from iran. | biting midges of the genus culicoides act as vectors for important diseases affecting humans and both wild and domestic animals. collection of adult culicoides specimens in the near vicinity of vertebrate hosts is the major part of any bluetongue surveillance plan. there are old records of culicoides species dated from 1963, 1968 and 1975. therefore, it was decided to collect different ceratopogonids members using a light trap. | 2016 | 28032099 |
| arthropod surveillance programs: basic components, strategies, and analysis. | effective entomological surveillance planning stresses a careful consideration of methodology, trapping technologies, and analysis techniques. herein, the basic principles and technological components of arthropod surveillance plans are described, as promoted in the symposium "advancements in arthropod monitoring technology, techniques, and analysis" presented at the 58th annual meeting of the entomological society of america in san diego, ca. interdisciplinary examples of arthropod monitoring f ... | 0 | 26543242 |
| characterization of two cryptic species, culicoides stigma and c.parroti (diptera: ceratopogonidae), based on barcode regions and morphology. | biting midges of the genus culicoides (diptera: ceratopogonidae) are insect vectors of economically important veterinary diseases such as african horse sickness, bluetongue, and schmallenberg virus. the identification of culicoides based on morphological features can be difficult. three species of biting midges, culicoides nubeculosus, c. stigma, and c. parroti have emerged in the laboratory from mud collected around watering troughs on a farm in northern france. emerging culicoides were charact ... | 2013 | 24581354 |
