Ecotypes, <i>Wolbachia,</i> and urbanization shape <i>Culex pipiens</i> population structure in a West Nile virus hotspot

2026-05-13

Abstract excerpt

Culex pipiens is a major vector of West Nile Virus (WNV) in Europe and has a complex evolutionary history that has been linked to the probability of WNV spillover to humans. Here, we present a population genomic analysis of Cx. pipiens from a WNV hotspot in southwestern Spain. Whole-genome sequencing of 217 individuals from 24 localities revealed that population structure is mainly shaped by the coexistence of p...
