Winter Activity and Aboveground Hybridization Between the Two Biotypes of the West Nile Virus Vector <i>Culex pipiens</i>

22 Sept 2015

Abstract excerpt

Culex (Cx.) pipiens mosquitoes are important vectors of West Nile virus (WNV). In Europe, the species Cx. pipiens consists of two biotypes, pipiens and molestus, which are morphologically identical, but differ in behavior. Typical behavior of the molestus biotype is the ability to remain active during winter, whereas the pipiens biotype enters diapause. The current paradigm is that the two biotypes occur...
