Abstract excerpt
Until the relatively recent application of molecular identification tools, identification of Culex pipiens f. pipiens and Cx. pipiens f. molestus relied on expressed ecological characteristics, including autogeny, host preference and stenogamy. Herein we test two DNA assays, one based on the microsatellite locus CQ11 and the other on species-diagnostic nucleotide bases in the mtDNA cytochrome oxidase I, on 322...
