This is probably it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetongue_disease The insect vector is midges (which are also sometimes called gnats).

Here is one thing I found: I assume you're quoting the material about Ebola because it says nothing about respiratory transmission; but there is this from Wikipedia: "The [Ebola] virus has been confirmed to be transmitted through body fluids. Transmission through oral exposure and through conjunctiva exposure is likely[42] and has been confirmed in non-human primates.[43] Filoviruses are not naturally transmitted by aerosol. They are, however, highly infectious as breathable 0.81.2 micrometre droplets in laboratory conditions;[44] because of this potential route of infection, these viruses have been classified as Category A biological weapons.[45]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_virus_disease Ebola is a completely different disease from bluetongue in any case; the similarity is in its hemorrhagic effects. > Transmission of Ebola > Transmission of Ebola can occur through exposure to blood or bodily > secretions of an infected person, or through direct contact with the person. > During outbreaks of the Ebola virus, transmission of the virus in hospitals > is very common, especially when patients are cared for without the use of > proper barrier techniques and sterilization practices.

It's a bit hyperbolic, but if lots of big cars and air conditioners contribute to global warming, and global warming makes for warmer temperatures in the Midwest, there is a connection. > I am sorry Buck but I am not sure I can officially believe one word you say. > > >>Global climate change has arrived and it ain't going > > > back to nothing like normal until you, you and you revert to living at a > > > base-line of a 1820's standard of living. > > Er, do you know what this actually means Buck?
