“…For example, local rainfall fluctuations (a period of drought) can have an important impact on vector populations, such as Culicoides spp, and the pathogens that they transmit. 28 A potential bias was introduced through repeated sample collection from individual cattle during the 3 years of the study. The 9,414 samples tested in this study represent 6,872 individual cattle: 5,038 cattle were tested once during the 3 years, 1,514 cattle were tested in 2 of the study years, and 320 cattle were tested in all 3 study years.…”

“…Studies have demonstrated that the vectors of the disease are affected by temperature [73,74] and have indicated a possible role of humidity [74] and precipitation [70]. In a study to investigate the effect of climate factors on Bluetongue virus infection in a simulated cattle herd, rainfall was identified as the most important factor in determining the prevalence of Bluetongue virus infection [75]. In addition to rainfall, warm temperatures favor vector breeding, but excessive temperatures may reduce the survival of adult vectors [76].…”

“…Field studies showed that although the breeding sites of C. imicola and C. oxystoma are different, both need a moist environment (Braverman et al ., 1974; Braverman, 1978; Peters et al ., 2014), and thus rain may affect the breeding site by increasing moisture, resulting in population peaks following rain events (Venter et al ., 1997; Mellor et al ., 2000). Overall, the combination of different weather parameters such as rain, humidity and temperature, was suggested to affect Culicoides population dynamics and peak size (Ward & Carpenter, 1996; Braverman et al ., 2004).…”
