Culicoides imicola in Greece 232-234
       

Summary
Culicoides imicola, the major vector of bluetongue virus in Africa and the Middle East, was recorded in Greece for the first time in 1982 following an outbreak of the disease on the island of Lesbos (October 1979). Since then, many hundreds of Culicoides trappings have been made and thousands of Culicoides have been collected from the islands and from mainland Greece. Culicoides imicola is now present on most of the eastern Aegean islands and in northern, central and south-eastern mainland Greece.

Keywords
