CULICOIDES SPP. (DIPTERA: CERATOPOGONIDAE) ATTRACTED TO HUMANS IN NEW BRUNSWICK AND NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Abstract
Seven species of Culicoides were collected from aerial sweeps about man or from aspiration of biting midges from man in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Hourly sweep netting indicated C. biguttatus was diurnal in this region and was apparently limited in its dispersion. Culicoides sanguisuga was the most widely distributed species of those collected in the region. A checklist of the 15 species of Culicoides now known from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia is included.
