Journal of Medical Entomology, 2021 The wide distribution of Culex (Cx.) pipiens complex mosquitoes makes it difficult to prevent the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases in humans. Gene editing using CRISPR/Cas9 is an effective technique with the potential to solve the growing problem ...

Global evaluation of taxonomic relationships and admixture within the Culex pipiens complex of mosquitoes [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background Within the Culex pipiens mosquito complex, there are six contemporarily recognized taxa: Cx. quinquefasciatus, Cx. pipiens f. pipiens, Cx. pipiens f. molestus, Cx. pipiens pallens, Cx. australicus and Cx. globocoxitus.

Inhibitory Effects of Amorphigenin on the Mitochondrial Complex I of Culex pipiens pallens Coquillett (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2015 Previous studies in our laboratory found that the extract from seeds of Amorpha fruticosa in the Leguminosae family had lethal effects against mosquito larvae, and an insecticidal compound amorphigenin was isolated.

Understanding the regulation of overwintering diapause molecular mechanisms in Culex pipiens pallens through comparative proteomics. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 To reveal overwintering dormancy (diapause) mechanisms of Culex pipiens pallens (L.), global protein expression differences at three separate time points represent nondiapause, diapause preparation and overwintering diapause phases of Cx. pipiens pallens

MiR-278-3p regulates pyrethroid resistance in Culex pipiens pallens. [PDF]
Parasitol Res, 2015 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression and biological processes including embryonic development, innate immunity, and infection in many species. Emerging evidence indicates that miRNAs are involved in drug resistance. However, little is known about the relationship between the miRNAs and insecticide resistance in mosquitos.

Behavioural response of female Culex pipiens pallens to common host plant volatiles and synthetic blends [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Background Most mosquito species need to obtain sugar from host plants. Little is known about the chemical cues that Culex pipiens pallens use during their orientation to nectar host plants.

Culex pipiens pallens cuticular protein CPLCG5 participates in pyrethroid resistance by forming a rigid matrix. [PDF]
Parasit Vectors, 2018 Chemical insecticides have hugely reduced the prevalence of vector-borne diseases around the world, but resistance threatens their continued effectiveness.

Development of Resistance to Pyrethroid in Culex pipiens pallens Population under Different Insecticide Selection Pressures. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015 Current vector control programs are largely dependent on pyrethroids, which are the most commonly used and only insecticides recommended by the World Health Organization for insecticide-treated nets (ITNs).

Naturally occurring incompatibilities between different Culex pipiens pallens populations as the basis of potential mosquito control measures. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 BACKGROUND: Vector-borne diseases remain a threat to public health, especially in tropical countries. The incompatible insect technique has been explored as a potential control strategy for several important insect vectors. However, this strategy has not
