This project investigates the role of a specific inherited symbiont in midges that may affect their ability to transmit viruses to livestock. By understanding this symbiont, the research aims to develop strategies to reduce viral transmission and improve livestock health.
The health of livestock is commonly impacted by viruses acquired from midge vectors.
The viruses transferred following a midge bite cause considerable economic losses across the EU, making control of midges/midge vector competence a pressing concern.
Recent research has indicated some inherited symbionts may alter the vector competence of their insect host, and thus represent viable means of interrupting pathogen transmission in natural populations.
However, reduction of vector competence has on…
