Culex pipiens as a potential vector for transmission of.
Phylum-level classification of bacterial communities from Cx. pipiens and Culex restuans At the family level, Rickettsiaceae accounted for 91 % of total microbiota in Cx. pipiens followed by Enterobacteriaceae (4 %) and Sphingomonadaceae (3 %).
The Culex mosquito, better known as the common house mosquito, is one of the three major types of mosquito inhabiting the planet. Since it typically obtains its blood meal from birds instead of humans, it is not considered as much of a threat to our health as the Anopheles and Aedes mosquitoes.

The Culex pipiens pipiens bioform of Culex pipiens usually inhabits areas above ground and targets avian species. The Culex pipiens molestus bioform, on the other hand, usually inhabits underground cavities and targets human hosts. When these two bioforms hybridize, the progeny shows depolarization in both habitat and host preferences.
Culex quinquefasciatus Say 1823 is a potential vector of West Nile virus, Saint Louis encephalitis virus, and lymphatic filariasis. We estimated the potential distribution of Cx. quinquefasciatus under both current and future climate conditions.

Culex quinquefasciatus Say, 1823 (originally named Culex fatigans), commonly known as the southern house mosquito, is a medium-sized mosquito found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is the vector of Wuchereria bancrofti, avian malaria, and arboviruses including St. Louis encephalitis virus, Western equine encephalitis virus, Zika virus and West Nile virus.
