The applicability of spectrophotometry for the assessment of blood meal volume inartificially fed Culicoides imicola in South Africa

De Beer, Chantel Janet; Boikanyo, Solomon N.B.; Venter, Gert Johannes; Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes) (Wiley, 2021-03)

The volume of the blood meal of haematophagous insects will determine the number of infective particles taken up during feeding and may as such denote the minimum dose needed to infect a competent vector. Culicoides midges ...
Attraction range of the Onderstepoort 220 V light trap for Culicoides biting midges as determined under South African field conditions

Venter, Gert Johannes; Majatladi, Daphney M.; Labuschagne, Karien; Boikanyo, Solomon N.B.; Morey, Liesl (Elsevier, 2012-11-23)

Despite some limitations suction lighttraps are the primary tools used for the collection of Culicoides species (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae). The range of attraction of the Onderstepoortlighttrap is not known but an insight ...
Comparison of the efficiency of the Onderstepoort- and Centres for Disease Control ultraviolet light traps for the collection of livestock associated Culicoides species in South Africa

Venter, Gert Johannes; Sebitsang, S.S.; Swart, V.R.; Boikanyo, S.N.B.; De Beer, C.J. (Wiley, 2022-03)

Comparative monitoring of the abundance and distribution of Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), the biological vectors of the causative agents of several diseases of global veterinary importance, will be ...
Culicoides species abundance and potential overwintering of African horse sickness virus in the Onderstepoort area, Gauteng, South Africa

Venter, Gert Johannes; Labuschagne, Karien; Majatladi, Daphney M.; Boikanyo, Solomon N.B.; Lourens, Carina W.; Ebersohn, Karen; Venter, Estelle Hildegard (AOSIS OpenJournals Publishing, 2014-11-14)

In South Africa, outbreaks of African horse sickness (AHS) occur in summer; no cases are reported in winter, from July to September. The AHS virus (AHSV) is transmitted almost exclusively by Culicoides midges (Diptera: ...
Culicoides spp. (Diptera : Ceratopogonidae) as vectors of bluetongue virus in South Africa – a review

Venter, Gert Johannes (Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale dell'Abruzzo e del Molise G. Caporale, 2015-12-31)

The aim of this paper is to consolidate vector competence studies on Culicoides midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) as vectors of Bluetongue virus (BTV) done over a period 25 years at the Agriculture Research Council ‑ ...
The efficiency of light‐emitting diode suction traps for the collection of South African livestock‐associated Culicoides species

Venter, Gert Johannes; Boikanyo, Solomon N.B.; De Beer, Chantel J. (Wiley, 2018-12)

Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are vectors of a range of orbiviruses that cause important veterinary diseases such as bluetongue and African horse sickness. The effective monitoring of Culicoides species ...
Influence of carbon dioxide on numbers of Culicoides midges collected with suction light traps in South Africa

Venter, Gert Johannes; Boikanyo, Solomon N.B.; Majatladi, Daphney M.; Morey, Liesl (Wiley, 2016-03)

To implement risk management against diseases transmitted by Culicoides species Latreille, 1809 (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) it will be essential to identify all potential vectors. Light traps are the most commonly used ...
The influence of temperature and humidity on the flight activity of Culicoides imicola both under laboratory and field conditions

Venter, Gert Johannes; Boikanyo, Solomon N. B.; De Beer, Chantel Janet (BioMed Central, 2019)

BACKGROUND: Insight into the factors that regulate the circadian host-seeking flight activity of Culicoides vectors (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) will be of importance to assess the risk of transmission of Culicoides-borne ...
Recovery rates of bluetongue virus serotypes 1, 2, 4 and 8 Spanish strains from orally infected Culicoides imicola in South Africa

Del Rio Lopez, R.; Miranda, M.A.; Paredes-Esquivel, C.; Lucientes, J.; Calvete, C.; Estrada, R.; Venter, Gert Johannes (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-06)

Bluetongue (BT) is an infectious disease of ruminants that has spread northwards in Europe during the last decade. The aetiological agent of the disease is an arbovirus [bluetongue virus (BTV)] that belongs to the genus ...
Repellent effect of organic fatty acids on Culicoides midges as determined with suction light traps in South Africa

Venter, Gert Johannes; Labuschagne, Karien; Boikanyo, Solomon N.B.; Morey, Liesl; Snyman, M.G. (Elsevier, 2011-09)

The efficacy of a 15% (w/w) mixture of octanoic, nonanoic and decanoic acids in light mineral oil to repel Culicoides biting midges (Diptera; Ceratopogonidae) was determined in three replicates of a 4 × 4 Latin square ...
