Substantial cold tolerance in all life stages of the biting midge, <i>Culicoides nubeculosus</i> (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae)
2025-12-05
Abstract excerpt
In temperate regions, vector-borne disease risk is mediated by cold winter conditions, however, the cold tolerance of key vector taxa remains poorly understood. Culicoides biting midges are the primary vectors of several pathogens of medical and veterinary importance including bluetongue virus, where seasonal cold weather in temperate regions limits midge activity and pathogen transmission. Here, we provide the f...
