Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.We developed sensitive real‐time PCR assays for West Nile virus and Usutu virus to screen bird and human samples in Finland. Although no positive samples were detected, active migratory flyways and recent cases in neighbouring countries highlight the risk of future introduction and the need for continued surveillance.

Is the Horaana strain of the Culex pipiens group Culex pipiens pallens?
Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 1989 The validity of the Horaana strain of the Culex pipiens group as Cx. pipiens pallens was studied. Judging from the fourth instar characters and morphology of the adult male genitalia, this laboratory strain is now out of the range of ordinary Cx.p. pallens in Japan, and must be identified as Cx. p. quinquefasciatus.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.These findings contribute to ongoing efforts to mitigate the impact of WNV by refining our understanding of the spatial determinants of virus transmission, informing evidence‐based interventions and enhancing preparedness and response strategies. This framework supports targeted intervention strategies, such as conducting vaccine campaigns prior to ...

UK mosquitoes are competent to transmit Usutu virus at native temperatures
One HealthUsutu 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 ...
