Comparison of surveillance trapping methods to monitor <i>Culicoides</i> biting midge activity in Trinidad, West Indies Open
Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are biting nuisances and arbovirus vectors of both public health and veterinary significance in Trinidad. We compared sampling methods to define the behaviour and bionomics of adult Culic…

Identification and characterization of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus serotype 6 in cattle co-infected with bluetongue virus in Trinidad, West Indies Open
Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) is an economically important virus that can cause severe clinical disease in deer and to a lesser extent cattle. This study set out to determine and characterize which EHDV serotypes were circulat…

The genome of the biting midge<i>Culicoides sonorensis</i>and gene expression analyses of vector competence for Bluetongue virus Open
Background The use of the new genomic technologies has led to major advances in control of several arboviruses of medical importance such as Dengue. However, the development of tools and resources available for vectors of non-zoonotic arbo…

Bluetongue virus infection in naïve cattle: Identification of circulating serotypes and associated Culicoides biting midge species in Trinidad Open
To better understand risks associated with trading cattle, it is important to know which serotypes of Bluetongue virus (BTV) are circulating within the exporting and importing country. Hence, this study was conducted to identify the circul…

Quantification of within‐ and between‐farm dispersal of <i>Culicoides</i> biting midges using an immunomarking technique Open
Summary Culicoides biting midges (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) are vectors of arboviruses that cause significant economic and welfare impact. Local‐scale spread of Culicoides ‐borne arboviruses is largely determined by the between‐farm moveme…

Can insecticide-treated netting provide protection for Equids from Culicoides biting midges in the United Kingdom? Open
Screened stables can be utilised as part of an integrated control program in the event of an AHSV outbreak in order to reduce vector-host contact and may also be applicable to protection of horses from Culicoides during transport.
