Local dispersal of palaearctic Culicoides biting midges estimated by mark-release-recapture

Abstract Background Farm to farm movement of Culicoides midges is believed to play a critical role in the spread of bluetongue (BT), Schmallenberg and other midge-borne diseases. To help understand and predict the spread of diseases carried by midges, there is a need to determine their dispersal pat...
