A broad assessment of factors determining Culicoides imicola abundance: modelling the present and forecasting its future in climate change scenarios.
Bluetongue (BT) is still present in Europe and the introduction of new serotypes from endemic areas in the African continent is a possible threat. Culicoides imicola remains one of the most relevant BT vectors in Spain and research on the environmental determinants driving its life cycle is key to p...
