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

Epitranscriptomic marks are highly variable across life stages and tissues, complicating comparisons between species. Using m6A consensus motifs, we developed a genomic indicator reflecting transcript methylability, the DRACH o/e score, that we used to investigate epitranscriptomic features and associated functions across nine bilaterian species.

Various vector control strategies are in place to reduce the spread of arthropod-borne viruses. Some of these, such as application of insecticides, are encountering operational challenges and a reduced overall effectiveness due to evolution of resistance.

Development and Validation of an Environmental DNA Workflow to Monitor Mosquito Populations
We designed a workflow for detecting mosquito eDNA in water. We validated the method with a lab experiment and occupancy‐detection modeling framework. We then tested the method in the field, validating it by parallel morphological identification. The method is robust, not affected by water volume and represents a useful tool for mosquito monitoring ...

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

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐
