AB  - The efficacy of alphacypermethrin-treated high density polyethylene (HDPE) mesh 
      applied to jet stalls against Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) 
      was determined by mechanical aspiration of midges from horses and using 
      Onderstepoort 220 V downdraught black light traps in four blocks of a 3 x 2 
      randomised design under South African field conditions. The 
      alphacypermethrin-treated HDPE mesh applied to the stall significantly (P = 
      0.008) reduced the number of Culicoides midges, predominantly Culicoides 
      (Avaritia) imicola Kieffer, mechanically aspirated from horses housed in the 
      stall. The mesh reduced the Culicoides midge attack rate in the treated stall 
      compared to the untreated stall and a sentinel horse by 6 times and 14 times, 
      respectively. The number of Culicoides midges and C. imicola collected in light 
      traps from the untreated and alphacypermethrin HDPE mesh-treated stalls did not 
      differ significantly (P = 0.82). Alphacypermethrin-treated HDPE mesh could be 
      used to reduce exposure of horses in jet stalls to Culicoides midges, 
      specifically C. imicola, and the risk of midge-borne Orbivirus transmission.
