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

open access: yesPLoS 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

A DRACH Observed/Expected Metric Reveals the Evolutionary Landscape of Epitranscriptomic Regulation Across Bilateria

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1564, Issue 1, October 2026.
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.

Asaia spp. exposure for improving mosquito mass-rearing, and the effects on Culex pipiens pipiens vector competence for West Nile virus.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
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

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
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 ...

Wolbachia and mosquitoes: Exploring transmission modes and coevolutionary dynamics in Shandong Province, China.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Vector-borne diseases leave a large footprint on global health. Notable culprits include West Nile virus (WNV), St. Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV), and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), all transmitted by Culex mosquitoes.

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

open access: yesViruses, 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

open access: yesViruses, 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 ...

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8132-8151, September 2026.
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‐
