Vector-Borne Animal Diseases
Vector-Borne Animal Diseases is a research topic within Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics. Science Explorer counts 27k research works in it since 1950. 21.2% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the epidemiology, transmission, pathogenesis, and control strategies of Bluetongue virus, a vector-borne disease primarily transmitted by Culicoides biting midges. The research also explores the impact of climate change on the distribution of Culicoides vectors and the emergence of Bluetongue virus in Europe.
