A research network bringing together workers on neglected vector groups (biting midges, sandflies and blackflies)gnatwork.ac.uk Guildford, EnglandJoined October 2017
👋Ento friends - anyone have a copy of:
Boorman, J., 1989. Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) of the Arabian peninsula with notes on their medical and veterinary importance. Fauna of Saudi Arabia 10: 160–224.
They can share? Any help much appreciated

Fantastic presentation by @framaha showcasing a novel alternative to human landing catches for sandfly and blackfly collections- the host decoy trap. Obvious benefits as reduces risk to participants of bites and infection.
Amazing results for blackfly sampling 🪰 #Gnatwork21

Amazing results for blackfly sampling 🪰 #Gnatwork21
To end this session we now have @framaha presenting on behalf of her team on the use of host decoy traps to collect sandflies and blackflies as an alternative to traditional surveillance methods.

Impressive cross-border collaboration in the face of COVID disruption made this project a success. Large numbers of Culicoides successfully collected and identified with a preliminary key already up on @the_gnatwork website: gnatwork.ac.uk/morphological-…#Gnatwork21

Fascinating work presented by @DrJohnGB on the use of LAMP for Onchocerca detection. Amazing numbers of blackflies dissected for confirmation of infection and LAMP success using O-150 primer sets. Also found evidence of nematode co-infection in dissected insects! #Gnatwork21
