Presence of Culicoides imicola (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Jaen, Spain.
Culicoides imicola Kieffer is reported from 2 locations in the province of Jaen, Spain. The locations are outside the area where African horse sickness epizootics occurred from 1988 to 1990. The absence of African horse sickness in Jaen during this period may have been due to the low abundance of this species.
