Diversity, Host-Feeding Patterns, and Oropouche Virus Surveillance in Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) from the Western Brazilian Amazon

2026-08-11

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <italic>Culicoides</italic> Latreille biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are hematophagous insects of medical and veterinary importance due to their role in arbovirus transmission. In the neotropical region, species diversity remains incompletely characterized, particularly in the Amazon Basin. This study assessed the diversity and composition of <italic>Culicoides</italic> i...
