The influence of temperature and humidity on the flight activity of Culicoides imicola both under laboratory and field conditions

Abstract 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 pathogens. This study aimed to determine the impact of temperature and h...
