In total, 10,067 biting midges of the genus Culicoides comprising 17 species were collected in a light trap survey of 50 chicken farms in the province of Batangas, southern Luzon, Philippines, between 14 September and 5 December 1988. The species of greatest prevalence and abundance were Culicoides effusus Delfinado, Culicoides peregrinus Kieffer, and Culicoides palpifer Sen & Das Gupta. Engorged females of C. effusus, C. peregrinus, C. palpifer, Culicoides oxystoma Kieffer, Culicoides arakawae (Arakawa), Culicoides guttifer (Meijere), Culicoides albibasis Wirth & Hubert, Culicoides huffi Causey, Culicoides clavipalpis Mukerji, and Culicoides wenzeli Delfinado were collected. The abundance and prevalence of C. effusus, C. peregrinus, and C. C. palpifer in the overall sample of farms as well as in farms with previous occurrence of leucocytozoonosis indicated that these species are potential vectors of Culicoides-borne Leucocytozoon caulleryi Mathis & Leger among chickens in this area. Although blood-engorged females of C. arakawae were collected frequently, the prevalence and abundance of this species were limited.
1988年9月14日至12月5日期间，在菲律宾吕宋岛南部八打雁省的50个养鸡场进行的诱虫灯调查中，共捕获了10,067只库蠓属的吸血蠓，包括17个物种。其中分布最广、数量最多的物种是德尔菲纳多库蠓、漂泊库蠓和触须库蠓。捕获到了饱血的德尔菲纳多库蠓、漂泊库蠓、触须库蠓、尖口库蠓、荒川库蠓、具斑库蠓、苍白库蠓、赫氏库蠓、棒须库蠓和文氏库蠓雌虫。在整个农场样本以及之前发生过住白细胞虫病的农场中，德尔菲纳多库蠓、漂泊库蠓和触须库蠓的数量和分布表明，这些物种可能是该地区鸡中由库蠓传播的卡氏住白细胞虫的潜在传播媒介。虽然荒川库蠓的饱血雌虫经常被捕获，但其分布和数量有限。
