Abstract: Vesicular stomatitis (VS) is a reportable viral disease which affects horses, cattle, and pigs in the Americas. Outbreaks of vesicular stomatitis virus New Jersey serotype (VSV-NJ) in the United States typically occur on a 5–10-year cycle, usually affecting western and southwestern states. In 2019–2020, an outbreak of VSV Indiana serotype (VSV-IN) extended eastward into the states of Kansas and Missouri for the first time in several decades, leading to 101 confirmed premises in Kansas and 37 confirmed premises in Missouri. In order to investigate which vector species contributed to the outbreak in Kansas, we conducted insect surveillance at two farms that experienced confirmed VSV-positive cases, one each in Riley County and Franklin County. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention miniature light traps were used to collect biting flies on the premises. Two genera of known VSV vectors, Culicoides biting midges and Simulium black flies, were identified to species, Citation: McGregor, B.L.; Rozo- pooled by species, sex, reproductive status, and collection site, and tested for the presence of VSV- Lopez, P.; Davis, T.M.; Drolet, B.S. -

US annual losses of approximately $125 million are due to restrictions on the movement of livestock and germplasm to bluetongue-free countries. Bluetongue is the most economically important arthropod-borne ani- mal disease in the United States. Bluetongue is absent in the northeastern United States because of the inefficient vector ability there of C. variipennis for blue- tongue. The vector of bluetongue virus elsewhere in the United States is C. -

Arthropod cell lines are essential laboratory research tools for the isolation and propagation of vector-borne pathogens and the investigation of host-vector-pathogen interactions. Here we report the establishment of two continuous cell lines, CNE/LULS44 and CNE/LULS47, from embryos of Culicoides nubeculosus, a midge distributed throughout the Western Palearctic region. Species origin of the cultured cells was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing of a fragment of the cytochrome oxidase 1 gene, and the absence of bacterial contamination was confirmed by bacterial 16S rRNA PCR. -

F. Christian Thompson Neal L. Evenhuis and Curtis W. Sabrosky Bibliography of the Family-Group Names of Diptera
F. Christian Thompson Neal L. Evenhuis and Curtis W. Sabrosky Bibliography of the Family-Group Names of Diptera Bibliography Thompson, F. C, Evenhuis, N. L. & Sabrosky, C. W. The following bibliography gives full references to 2,982 works cited in the catalog as well as additional ones cited within the bibliography. A concerted effort was made to examine as many of the cited references as possible in order to ensure accurate citation of authorship, date, title, and pagination. References are listed alphabetically by author and chronologically for multiple articles with the same authorship. In cases where more than one article was published by an author(s) in a particular year, a suffix letter follows the year (letters are listed alphabetically according to publication chronology). Authors' names: Names of authors are cited in the bibliography the same as they are in the text for proper association of literature citations with entries in the catalog. Because of the differing treatments of names, especially those containing articles such as "de," "del," "van," "Le," etc., these names are cross-indexed in the bibliography under the various ways in which they may be treated elsewhere. For Russian and other names in Cyrillic and other non-Latin character sets, we follow the spelling used by the authors themselves. Dates of publication: Dating of these works was obtained through various methods in order to obtain as accurate a date of publication as possible for purposes of priority in nomenclature. Dates found in the original works or by outside evidence are placed in brackets after the literature citation. -
Response of Culicoides Sonorens/S(Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) to I-Octen-3-Ol and Three Plant- Derived Repellent Formulations in the Field
Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 16(2):158-163, 2000 Copyright @ 2000 by the American Mosquito Control Association, Inc. RESPONSE OF CULICOIDES SONORENS/S(DIPTERA: CERATOPOGONIDAE) TO I-OCTEN-3-OL AND THREE PLANT- DERIVED REPELLENT FORMULATIONS IN THE FIELD YEHUDA BRAVERMAN,T MARY C. WEGIS' rxo BRADLEY A. MULLENS3 ABSTRACT The potential attractant l-octen-3-ol and 3 potential repellents were assayed for activity for Culicoides sonorensis, the primary vector of bluetongue virus in North America. Collections using octenol were low, but numbers in suction traps were greater in the high-octenol treatment (11.5 mg/h) than in the low-octenol treatment (1.2 mg/h) or unbaited control for both sexes. Collections using high octenol, CO, (-1,000 ml/min), or both showed octenol alone to be significantly less attractive than either of the CO, treatments and that octenol did not act synergistically with this level of COr. A plant-derived (Meliaceae) extract with 4.5Vo of active ingredient (AI) (AglOOO), heptanone solvent, Lice free@ (24o Al from plant extracts in water), Mosi-guard with 5OVo Eucalyptus maculata v^r. citriodora Hook extract, and N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (deet) were applied to polyester--cotton coarse mesh nets and deployed in conjunction with suction light traps plus COr. Collections in the trap with deet were 667o lower (P < 0.05) than the heptanone and 56Vo (P > 0.05) less than the untreated (negative) control. Relative to deet, collections in the traps with the lice repellent, Ag1000, and Mosi-guard were reduced by 15,34, and 39Vo, respectively (P > 0.05). -
African Horse Sickness: the Potential for an Outbreak in Disease-Free
1 AFRICAN HORSE SICKNESS: THE POTENTIAL FOR AN OUTBREAK IN DISEASE-FREE 2 REGIONS AND CURRENT DISEASE CONTROL AND ELIMINATION TECHNIQUES 3 4 LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS 5 6 AHS African horse sickness 7 AHSV African horse sickness virus 8 BT Bluetongue 9 BTV Bluetongue virus 10 OIE World Organisation for Animal Health 11 12 INTRODUCTION 13 14 African horse sickness (AHS) is an infectious, non-contagious, vector-borne viral disease 15 of equids. Possible references to the disease have been found from several centuries ago, 16 however the first recorded outbreak was in 1719 amongst imported European horses in 17 Africa [1]. AHS is currently endemic in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and is associated 18 with case fatality rates of up to 95% in naïve populations [2]. No specific treatment is 19 available for AHS and vaccination is used to control the disease in South Africa [3; 4]. 20 Due to the combination of high mortality and the ability of the virus to expand out of its 21 endemic area without warning, the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) 22 classifies AHS as a listed disease. Official AHS disease free status can be obtained from 23 the OIE on fulfilment of a number of requirements and the organisation provides up-to- 24 date detail on global disease status [5]. 25 26 AHS virus (AHSV) is a member of the genus Orbivirus (family Reoviridae) and consists 27 of nine different serotypes [6]. All nine serotypes of AHSV are endemic in sub-Saharan 28 Africa and outbreaks of two serotypes have occurred elsewhere [3]. -
