**Goal:** Assess the risk of long-distance dispersal of *Culicoides* at the European scale and beyond

**Method:** Risk maps provided by Windi App result from HYSPLIT atmospheric simulations, which were specifically adapted to the ecological and survival constraints of *Culicoides* spp.

**Results:** Windi App https://windiapp.univ-lyon1.fr/windi_app/

1. Select the initiation area

Based on the epidemiological situation

3. Obtain the Risk Maps (e.g., Forward)

Where might new incursions of BTV-8 occur from Slovenia due to the wind dispersal of *Culicoides*?
