Ecological Distribution and CQ11 Genetic Structure of Culex pipiens Complex (Diptera: Culicidae) in Italy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Mosquitoes in the Culex pipiens complex are considered to be involved in the transmission of a range of pathogens, including West Nile virus (WNV). Although its taxonomic status is still debated, the complex includes species, both globally distributed or

Color, Bacteria, and Mosquito Eggs as Ovipositional Attractants for \u3ci\u3eAedes Aegypti\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eAedes Albopictus\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]

, 2018
Selected bacterial washes, color, and mosquito eggs were comparatively examined as ovipositional attractants for Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Any evidence of additive activity was noted.

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Mod/Resc Parsimony Inference [PDF]

, 2010
We address in this paper a new computational biology problem that aims at understanding a mechanism that could potentially be used to genetically manipulate natural insect populations infected by inherited, intra-cellular parasitic bacteria.

Mosquito and arbovirus surveillance in wetlands of South‐East England: Comparison of two adult mosquito traps, use of a novel trap with FTA™ cards and arbovirus testing

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Trap performance: Mosquito Magnet® captured significantly more mosquitoes overall, while BG‐Sentinel showed greater species evenness and was more effective for Culex pipiens s.l. and broader species representation. Spatial variation: Mosquito abundance and species composition varied significantly between wetlands, highlighting the importance of site ...

Investigations on Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae): larval infestation on the tomato cultivated in open field and evaluation of five essential oils against larvae in laboratory [PDF]

, 2019
The tomato miner Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is a Neotropical species, which cause serious damages to tomato in spread areas. It appeared in 2008 in Italy, where it seriously threatened tomato production both in greenhouse and open ...

What are the vector species of the Oropouche virus?

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 2785-2793, April 2026.
Here, we review the timeline of Oropouche virus (OROV) detection in various hematophagous Diptera, from 1955 to date, including mosquitoes and midges. All vector competence experiments also are described. The results suggest that Culicoides are the primary vectors.

Culex torrentium: A Potent Vector for the Transmission of West Nile Virus in Central Europe

Viruses, 2019
The continuous circulation of West Nile virus (WNV) in Central, South and East Europe and its recent detection in several dead birds and two horses in Germany highlights the need for information on WNV vector competence of mosquitoes from Central Europe.

Forced Zika Virus Infection of Culex pipiens Leads to Limited Virus Accumulation in Mosquito Saliva

Viruses, 2020
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne pathogen that caused a large outbreak in the Americas in 2015 and 2016. The virus is currently present in tropical areas around the globe and can cause severe disease in humans, including Guillain-Barré syndrome and ...

Clashing in Murky Waters: On Amphibian Mosquito Suppression

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study compares the predator efficiency of common European amphibian species to common invertebrate mosquito predators. Focusing on the cosmopolitan mosquito Culex pipiens, known for transmitting pathogens like West Nile virus, we assessed predator rates, sex‐specific efficiency in amphibians, and the impact of predator presence on mosquito ...
