Culicoides species of Palaearctic region in Afrotropical region: comments on two recent publications on Culicoides species present in Ethiopia.
Biting midges are key vectors that can transmit different pathogens to mammals and birds. In Ethiopia, two studies showed the diversity of Culicoides species in several districts based on morphological characters. For this, the same identification key was used for Afrotropical and Palaearctic Culicoides fauna. Consequently, results are incomplete and erroneous. It is misleading to state that a universal identification key is available.
期刊介绍:
The journal Parasitology Research covers the latest developments in parasitology across a variety of disciplines, including biology, medicine and veterinary medicine. Among many topics discussed are chemotherapy and control of parasitic disease, and the relationship of host and parasite.
Other coverage includes: Protozoology, Helminthology, Entomology; Morphology (incl. Pathomorphology, Ultrastructure); Biochemistry, Physiology including Pathophysiology;
Parasite-Host-Relationships including Immunology and Host Specificity; life history, ecology and epidemiology; and Diagnosis, Chemotherapy and Control of Parasitic Diseases.
