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.

Pyrethroid-resistance is modulated by miR-92a by targeting CpCPR4 in Culex pipiens pallens. [PDF]
Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol, 2017 The wide use of pyrethroids has resulted in the emergence and spread of resistance in mosquito populations, which represent a major obstacle in the struggle against vector-borne diseases. Resistance to pyrethroids is a complex genetic phenomenon attributed by polygenetic inheritance. We previously have sequenced and analyzed the miRNA profiles of Culex

Molecular and physiological characterization of the chitin synthase B gene isolated from Culex pipiens pallens (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2019 Background The growth and development of insects is strictly dependent on the precise regulation of chitin synthase (CHS), which is absent in vertebrates and plants. Therefore, CHS represents an attractive target for insecticides.

Transcriptional regulation of Culex pipiens mosquitoes by Wolbachia influences cytoplasmic incompatibility [PDF]
, 2013 Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) induced by the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis causes complex patterns of crossing sterility between populations of the Culex pipiens group of mosquitoes. The molecular basis of the phenotype is yet to be defined.

Characterization of East London Culex pipiens s.l. in relation to the risk of transmission to humans of the West Nile virus in Great Britain. [PDF]
, 2009 PhDConcerns that West Nile Virus (WNV) may arrive in the UK, prompted investigations of Cx. pipiens s.l., as this species complex has been most often implicated in European urban WNV human outbreaks and the rapid spread of the virus across North ...
