DNA Identification and Diversity of the Vector Mosquitoes <i>Culex pipiens</i> s.s. and <i>Culex torrentium</i> in Belgium (Diptera: Culicidae)

This survey reports on the DNA identification and occurrence of <i>Culex torrentium</i> and <i>Cx. pipiens</i> s.s. in Belgium. These native disease-vector mosquito species are morphologically difficult to separate, and the biotypes of <i>Cx. pipiens</i> s.s. are...
