culex pipiens in london underground tunnels: differentiation between surface and subterranean populations.genetic variation was quantified between surface-dwelling populations of culex pipiens and the so-called molestus form found in the london underground (the underground) railway system. the molestus form is a commercially important biting nuisance and in the southern part of its range is also a disease vector. the surface and subterranean populations were genetically distinct, with no evidence of gene flow between closely adjacent populations of the different forms, whereas there was little diffe ...199910200079
potential transmission of west nile virus in the british isles: an ecological review of candidate mosquito bridge vectors.west nile virus (wnv) transmitted by mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) infects various vertebrates, being pathogenic for birds, horses and humans. after its discovery in tropical africa, sporadic outbreaks of wnv occurred during recent decades in eurasia, but not the british isles. wnv reached new york in 1999 and spread to california by 2003, causing widespread outbreaks of west nile encephalitis across north america, transmitted by many species of mosquitoes, mainly culex spp. the periodic reapp ...200515752172
suitability of two carbon dioxide-baited traps for mosquito surveillance in the united kingdom.rapidly changing environments and an increase in human movement around the globe have contributed to a rise in new and emerging diseases, many of which are arthropod borne. the threat posed to the united kingdom by such diseases is uncertain, and there is a real need to understand the distribution, seasonality and behaviour of potential vectors in the country. at present, there is no standard method for routine mosquito surveillance in the uk. here we compared the catching efficiency of two carb ...200717997872
