Biting midge dynamics and bluetongue transmission: a multiscale model linking catch data with climate and disease outbreaks
Abstract Bluetongue virus (BTV) serotype 8 has been circulating in Europe since a major outbreak occurred in 2006, causing economic losses to livestock farms. The unpredictability of the biting activity of midges that transmit BTV implies difficulty in computing accurate transmission models. This st...
