Knockdown resistance (kdr)-associated organochlorine resistance in mosquito-borne diseases (Culex pipiens): A systematic review and meta-analysis

Heliyon
Background: Culex pipiens is the vector of a large number of pathogens in humans. Use of insecticides to deal with this vector is the most important way to controlling it.

Trends in insecticide resistance in Culex pipiens pallens over 20 years in Shandong, China

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Culex pipiens pallens is the most abundant Culex mosquito species in northern China and is an important vector of bancroftian filariasis and, potentially, West Nile virus. Insecticides, particularly pyrethroids, are widely used for adult mosquito control.

The First Review on Nano‐Agricultural Applications of MXene and MBene‐Based Materials for Plant‐Immunoengineering, Controlled Protection, and Inducing Biostimulation Mechanisms

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 5, 22 January 2026.
MXene and MBene nanomaterials show significant potential in addressing critical challenges in biomedicine, applied biology, agriculture, and the environment. From a nano‐agricultural perspective, this relatively young field has witnessed emerging advances towards applications for plant‐immunoengineering, biostimulation, and controlled delivery ...

Culex pipiens and Culex restuans egg rafts harbor diverse bacterial communities compared to their midgut tissues

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background The bacterial communities associated with mosquito eggs are an essential component of the mosquito microbiota, yet there are few studies characterizing and comparing the microbiota of mosquito eggs to other host tissues.

Vector Potential Index: Bridging Competence and Contribution as an Integrative Measure of Relative Transmission Capability

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
The Vector Potential Index (VPI) is a novel metric for evaluating and comparing the potential of blood‐feeding arthropod vectors to contribute to zoonotic vector‐borne disease transmission. Taking a meta‐analysis approach, the VPI combines vector competence and host use data obtained from scientific literature to assign relative and absolute VPI ranks ...

Larvicidal Activity of Nerium oleander against Larvae West Nile Vector Mosquito Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae)

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2015
Background. Outbreaks of the West Nile virus infection were reported in Morocco in 1996, 2003, and 2010. Culex pipiens was strongly suspected as the vector responsible for transmission.

The emerged genotype I of Japanese encephalitis virus shows an infectivity similar to genotype III in Culex pipiens mosquitoes from China

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
Japanese Encephalitis virus (JEV) is a zoonotic flavivirus that represents the most significant etiology of childhood viral neurological infections throughout the Asia. During the last 20 years, JEV genotype dominance has shifted from genotype III (GIII)

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host‐Specificity and Threats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

Host attraction and host feeding patterns indicate generalist feeding of Culex pipiens s.s. and Cx. torrentium

Parasites & Vectors
Background Mosquito host feeding patterns are an important factor of the species-specific vector capacity determining pathogen transmission routes. Culex pipiens s.s./Cx.

UK mosquitoes are competent to transmit Usutu virus at native temperatures

One Health
Usutu virus (USUV) is an emerging zoonotic virus transmitted primarily by Culex mosquitoes. Since its introduction into Europe from Africa during the late 20th century, it has caused mortality within populations of passerine birds and captive owls, and ...
