摘要：

A survey for Culicoides Latreille, 1809, was made in Albania in 2002 to establish whether Culicoides imicola Kieffer, 1913, the main vector of bluetongue virus in the Mediterranean Basin, or any, other suspected vector species, was present. The collections and analyses were performed in accordance with the protocols of the National Reference Centre for Exotic Diseases (CESME: Centro Studi Malalattie Esotiche) in Teramo, Italy. A total of 43 catches were made in October and November in 15 districts (Bulqise, Devoll, Dibre, Durres, Fier, Gjirokaster, Has, Kolonje, Korce, Librazhd, Permet, Pogradet, Shkoder, Tirane and Tropoje). Twenty species of Culicoides were identified in the collections; the most abundant species belonged to the Obsoletus Complex (98% of total Culicoides in some catches). Culicoides imicola was never captured during the survey. However, a larger number of Culicoides collections and collection sites are needed to exclude the presence of this species at low abundance levels.
