High Abundance of <i>Haemoproteus</i> Parasites in <i>Culicoides</i> (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae), with a Confirmation of <i>Culicoides reconditus</i> as a New Vector of These Avian Blood Parasites

<i>Haemoproteus</i> parasites are the most diverse among Haemosporida. However, their natural vectors (<i>Culicoides</i>) are still poorly investigated and were identified for only a few parasite species and lineages. The application of an integrative approach (insect dissect...
