Abstract We provide the first records of 8 species of biting midges in the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in a wide latitudinal gradient of the Yungas Ecoregion in Argentina and the Chaco Ecoregion in Bolivia, including a map of their distribution, and an updated checklist of species in the study area. Additional locality records were obtained from published articles and from specimens collected in these and other ecoregions in both countries. Included are the first Argentinean…

Development of Leishmania Parasites in Culicoides nubeculosus (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) and Implications for Screening Vector Competence

While Leishmania infantum initially developed in the midgut of C. nubeculosus until 2 d postfeeding, parasite populations on day 3 were considerably reduced, and it is suggested that conventional polymerase chain reaction use in vector-competence studies should be accompanied by direct microscopical observations.
