Local investigation into the role of Culicoides species diversity (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in recurrent horse dermatitis cases in southwest France
The findings highlight the continuous exposure of horses to Culicoides bites during the warm season, including at night and indoors, from C. obsoletus/scoticus, but also including low-impact species like C. punctatus and C. pulicaris. This underlines the need for ongoing research and surveillance.
