| abundance and prevalence of culicoides (diptera: ceratopogonidae) on some philippine chicken farms. | in total, 10,067 biting midges of the genus culicoides comprising 17 species were collected in a light trap survey of 50 chicken farms in the province of batangas, southern luzon, philippines, between 14 september and 5 december 1988. the species of greatest prevalence and abundance were culicoides effusus delfinado, culicoides peregrinus kieffer, and culicoides palpifer sen & das gupta. engorged females of c. effusus, c. peregrinus, c. palpifer, culicoides oxystoma kieffer, culicoides arakawae ... | 1994 | 8158628 |
| fungal biological control agents for integrated management of culicoides spp. (diptera: ceratopogonidae) of livestock. | entomopathogenic fungi metarhizium anisopliae and beauveria bassiana had wide host range against insects and hence these are being exploited as fungal bio-pesticide on a large scale. both fungi are proved pesticides against many crop pests and farmers are well acquainted with their use on the field. thus, research was aimed to explore the potency of these fungal spores against larval and adult culicoides midges, a pest of livestock. | 2015 | 27047065 |
| isolation of haemolytic bacilli from field-collected culicoides oxystoma and culicoides peregrinus: potential vectors of bluetongue virus in west bengal, india. | two haemolytic bacterial strains of bacillus pumilus (cu1a, cu1b) and one blood-utilizing strain of bacillus licheniformis (cu2b) were isolated from relatively low numbers of field-collected females of culicoides oxystoma and culicoides peregrinus (diptera: ceratopogonidae). a total of 36 females, including 18 of each of c. oxystoma and c. peregrinus (consisting of one and a pool of eight blood-engorged specimens, and one and a pool of eight non-engorged specimens for each species), were tested. ... | 2015 | 25644315 |
| laboratory rearing of immature culicoides peregrinus kieffer, a potential vector of bluetongue virus. | culicoides peregrinus (kieffer) (diptera: ceratopogonidae) was reared from egg to adult using four different combinations of food and substrate (t1: absorbent cotton, mud broth with 2% yeast; t2: 1% agar, mud broth with 2% yeast; t3: absorbent cotton, nutrient broth; t4: absorbent cotton, 2% yeast). field-collected engorged females exhibited mean fecundity of 82.45 ± 4.00. the highest rate of emergence and largest adults were obtained in t1, and the lowest rate of emergence was observed in t4. t ... | 2015 | 26396058 |
