Use of real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for the detection of African horse sickness virus replication in <i>Culicoides imicola</i>

Despite its important role as vector for African horse sickness virus (AHSV), very little information is available on the dissemination of this virus in Culicoides (Avaritia) imicola Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).
