Wolbachia diversity and cytoplasmic incompatibility patterns in Culex pipiens populations in Turkey [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2018 BackgroundWolbachia are maternally transmitted bacteria that can manipulate their hosts’ reproduction causing cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI is a sperm-egg incompatibility resulting in embryonic death.

Culex Y Virus: A Native Virus of Culex Species Characterized In Vivo
Viruses, 2023 Mosquitoes are vectors of various pathogens that cause diseases in humans and animals. To prevent the outbreak of mosquito-borne diseases, it is essential to control vector populations, as treatment or vaccination for mosquito-borne diseases are often ...

Conserved molecular pathways underlying biting in two divergent mosquito genera
Evolutionary Applications, 2022 Mosquitoes transmit a wide variety of devastating pathogens when they bite vertebrate hosts and feed on their blood. However, three entire mosquito genera and many individual species in other genera have evolved a nonbiting life history in which blood is
