Type 9 African horse sickness virus and type 4 bluetongue virus multiplied to a high titre in an Israeli strain of Culicoides puncticollis after intrathoracic inoculation. Akabane virus persisted for at least 10 days in this midge after intrathoracic inoculation but with little evidence of virus multiplication. All 3 viruses failed to multiply in C. puncticollis after ingestion by the oral route and all were inactivated by 4 days post infection. Five other species of Israeli Culicoides supported multiplication of bluetongue virus after intrathoracic inoculation.
9型非洲马瘟病毒和4型蓝舌病毒经胸腔接种后，在以色列的一种刺螫库蠓毒株中大量增殖。赤羽病毒经胸腔接种后在这种蠓虫体内持续存在至少10天，但几乎没有病毒增殖的迹象。这三种病毒经口服途径被蠓虫摄入后均未在刺螫库蠓中增殖，且在感染后4天全部失活。以色列的其他五种库蠓在经胸腔接种后支持蓝舌病毒的增殖。
