This study shows that diapause in Culex pipiens involves a trade-off between somatic growth and reproductive investment, with strain-specific variation in diapause expression.

This study shows that Culex pipiens molestus mosquitoes can transmit Usutu virus at 22°C, with higher viral loads and transmission rates compared to lower temperatures.

The paper tests if UK Culex pipiens molestus mosquitoes can transmit Oropouche virus, finding no evidence of infection in tested individuals.

This study assesses the vector competence of UK mosquitoes for the local Usutu virus strain at regional temperatures, finding several species capable of transmitting the virus.
