Background: The detection of multiple bluetongue virus serotypes, increasing trend in livestock density, rich biological diversity with high endemism, and the status of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands as a popular tourist destination underscore the need for a faunistic survey of medically and veterinary significant vector species, specifically Culicoides, in this region. Moreover, scattered information on Indian Culicoides species complicates the planning and implementation of preventive measures for pathogens transmitted by these vectors. This study aims to provide the first comprehensive account of the Culicoides fauna in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, along with an updated checklist of Indian Culicoides species and their state-wise distribution.

Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) is an arthropod-borne RNA virus in the genus Orbivirus, family Sedoreoviridae. Globally, seven known EHDV serotypes circulate among ruminant hosts and Culicoides species vectors. A variety of domestic and wild ruminant species are susceptible to EHDV infection, but infection outcome is highly variable between species, as well as between individuals of the same species.

Article Synopsis
- Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) is a viral disease affecting ruminants, transmitted by midges, and recognized by the World Organization for Animal Health since 2008.
- In 2021, a major outbreak of EHDV serotype 8 occurred in Tunisia, leading to reports of the virus spreading to Italy, Spain, Portugal, and France, marking its first presence outside Australia since 1982.
- The study analyzed the outbreak's epidemiology in Tunisia, identifying eco-climatic factors that influenced infection patterns and suggesting that developed risk maps could aid in controlling and preventing future outbreaks in the region.
