The biocultural origins and dispersal of domestic chickens

Joris Peters et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the archaeological occurrences and domestication status of chickens from 600 sites in 89 countries using various types of data. The results suggest that the earliest domestic chicken bones were found in a Neolithic site in central Thailand, and chickens were not domesticated in the Indian Subcontinent. Chickens arrived late in Central China, South Asia, and Mesopotamia, but early in Ethiopia and Mediterranean Europe. The spread of rice agriculture may have facilitated the domestication and global dispersal of chickens.

Molecular detection of avian haemosporidian parasites in biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) from Thailand

Pairot Pramual et al.

Summary: This study used a molecular approach to detect haemosporidian parasites in six biting midge species in Thailand, finding three species of these parasites. The study suggests that biting midges may be competent vectors of these parasites, with further investigation needed for confirmation.

High dispersal capacity of Culicoides obsoletus (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), vector of bluetongue and Schmallenberg viruses, revealed by landscape genetic analyses

Antoine Mignotte et al.

Summary: The study on Culicoides obsoletus in Europe found that cattle density is the main factor limiting gene flow, while low genetic differentiation and weak population structure indicate the high dispersal capacity of this species over land.

Genetic variation, DNA barcoding and blood meal identification of Culicoides Latreille biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Thailand

Panya Jomkumsing et al.

Summary: This study examined DNA barcoding and host blood source identification in Culicoides biting midges from Thailand, revealing high levels of genetic variation and the possibility of cryptic species in some taxa. Additionally, the study found that some Culicoides taxa fed on chicken blood, which was previously unknown.

Culicoides Latreille (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) as potential vectors for Leishmania martiniquensis and Trypanosoma sp. in northern Thailand

Sakone Sunantaraporn et al.

Summary: Biting midges of genus Culicoides may potentially transmit L. martiniquensis and Trypanosoma parasites in an endemic area of leishmaniasis in northern Thailand. Further studies on the host ranges of Culicoides are needed to understand the potential vectors of emerging leishmaniasis. Identification of the vectors of these parasites is important for effective disease prevention and control programs in Thailand.

Integrative taxonomy uncovers a new Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) biting midge species from Thailand

Pairot Pramual et al.

Summary: This study utilized morphological characters and DNA barcodes to investigate a new species of Culicoides from Thailand, resulting in the identification of Culicoides mahasarakhamense sp. nov. The new species was differentiated morphologically and supported by genetic analysis, highlighting the importance of an integrated approach in Culicoides taxonomy.
