catalogue, Culicoides, Diptera, arbovirus, update, SpainAbstract
The number of studies on arthropods of genus Culicoides Latreille (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) has increased considerably in Spain in recent decades. This is due to the role these insects play as vectors of arboviruses that cause disease in animals, but also in humans. This work undertakes an updated catalogue of the species of this genus in our country, through a critical review of the literature, clarifying chronological aspects of these publications carried out for over a century of research. This update shows a total of 81 species of Culicoides in Spain, among which are some to be considered as directly related to the transmission of diseases such as bluetongue and African horse sickness.
