Abstract
In our sampled area, the most abundant species was C. arakawae (61.89%), followed by C. oxystoma (13.77%), C. punctatus (10.10%), C. nipponensis (8.82%), C. homotomus (3.19%) and C.morisitai (1.17%) in this study. C. punctatus was the dominant species of Park habitat (62.22%), C. arakawae was the predominant species of Chicken habitat (96.66%), Vegetable plot habitat (92.0%), and Peasant household habitat (83.21%), respectively. C. oxystoma was the abundant species of Residential area habitat (40.11%), Hospital habitat (56.65%), and Pig & Cow habitat (48.77%), respectively. Results also show that the potential Bluetongue virus vectors belong to the Obsoletus and Pulicaris groups, are also included and relatively abundant, notably: Culicoides punctatus. These findings expand the current knowledge of Culicoides population composition in the southern part of China.
