Does Variation in Culex (Diptera: Culicidae) Vector Competence Enable Outbreaks of West Nile Virus in California?

2008-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Since the invasion of California by West Nile virus (family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus, WNV) in 2003, we have annually monitored vector competence for the NY99 strain in Culex tarsalis Coquillett, Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus Say, Culex p. pipiens L., and Culex stigmatosoma Dyar populations from four areas: deserts of Coachella Valley, densely urbanized maritime Los Angeles, southern San Joaquin Valley in Ke...
