“…It may be said that a new BeF outbreak might be possible in the forthcoming two years (considering the time intervals between the outbreaks seen in 1996, 1999, 2005, 2008 and 2012). Possible causes for this are: decreased population immunity to natural infection from the previous outbreak, and the increased density of the vector population in the south-eastern region, where geographic and climatic conditions support the maintenance BeF vectors (DIk et al, 2014).…”

“…Culicoides-borne diseases such as BTV, AKAV, EHDV, BEFV, and SA have occurred in different regions of Turkey from time to time (38)(39)(40). C. imicola, C. pulicaris, and C. obsoletus complexes as important vectors of BTV were detected in different parts of Turkey (2,3,(8)(9)(10)13,14,23).…”

“…The most dominant species, C. obsoletus was detected in all collecting centers; C. fascipennis (Staeger), 1839; C. festivipennis Kieffer, 1914; C. flavipulicaris Dzhafarov, 1964 More than 50 viruses have been isolated from Culicoides species to date (4). The most important ones are African horse sickness virus (AHSV), bluetongue virus (BTV), epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV), Akabane virus (AKAV), bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV), and Schmallenberg virus (SV) (5,23). The primary vectors of these viruses in North Africa, the Middle East, and South Europe is C. imicola.…”

Introduction Culicoides biting midges are bloodsucking insects and they disturb human beings and animals by causing allergic reactions in the host. They also decrease animal products and kill animals as they transmit diseases (1-5). The number of the studies conducted to detect Culicoides species in Turkey increased in the last 25 years. Serious efforts to identify and document Culicoides species in Turkey began with Navai's PhD thesis (6), in which she documented the presence of 19 Culicoides species from Turkey. Jennings et al. (7) recorded 18 Culicoides species from the southwestern part of Turkey. Dik and Dinçer (3) collected 14,098 Culicoides specimens from Konya Province in the Central Anatolian Region. Yılmaz (8) detected 42 Culicoides species in Elazığ Province in the Eastern Anatolian Region of Turkey. In a study (9) carried out on Culicoides species in the Mediterranean Region, 24 Culicoides species were detected. The C. imicola Kieffer, 1913 and C. schultzei (Enderlein), 1908 complexes were reported to be in lower numbers, while the C. obsoletus complex was captured in high numbers in the Aegean Region of Turkey (10). Other studies carried out in relatively restricted areas followed these studies (11,12). The results of the studies performed in Turkey demonstrated that the C. imicola and C. schultzei complexes existed in the Mediterranean and Aegean regions while the C. pulicaris and C. obsoletus complexes were found in Central Anatolia and other parts of Turkey (13). There are two studies on the Culicoides fauna in the Black Sea Region of Turkey (11,14). However, they were carried out in the Central Black Sea Region, and there is no study found on Culicoides species in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey. In this respect, the present study aimed to detect the Culicoides species in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey. 2. Materials and methods 2.1 Localities This study was carried out in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey: Bolu (31.78790°E 40.76908°N,

“…The European midge species Culicoides nubeculosus (Meigen 1830), which is found across the Western Palearctic region from Spain and the United Kingdom in the west to Poland and Turkey in the east [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ], is considered to have a low vectorial capacity for BTV and SBV [ 10 , 11 ]. C. nubeculosus transmits the filarial worm Onchocerca cervicalis [ 5 ], and coinfecting O. cervicalis were found to increase susceptibility to BTV in a small proportion of midges [ 19 ].…”

Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) transmit arboviruses of veterinary or medical importance, including bluetongue virus (BTV) and Schmallenberg virus, as well as causing severe irritation to livestock and humans. Arthropod cell lines are essential laboratory research tools for the isolation and propagation of vector-borne pathogens and the investigation of host-vector-pathogen interactions. Here we report the establishment of two continuous cell lines, CNE/LULS44 and CNE/LULS47, from embryos of Culicoides nubeculosus, a midge distributed throughout the Western Palearctic region. Species origin of the cultured cells was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing of a fragment of the cytochrome oxidase 1 gene, and the absence of bacterial contamination was confirmed by bacterial 16S rRNA PCR. Both lines have been successfully cryopreserved and resuscitated. The majority of cells examined in both lines had the expected diploid chromosome number of 2n = 6. Transmission electron microscopy of CNE/LULS44 cells revealed the presence of large mitochondria within cells of a diverse population, while arrays of virus-like particles were not seen. CNE/LULS44 cells supported replication of a strain of BTV serotype 1, but not of a strain of serotype 26 which is not known to be insect-transmitted. These new cell lines will expand the scope of research on Culicoides-borne pathogens.
