Abstract

Study of distribution patterns of Culex pipiensforms and their sibling species Culextorrentium in Berlin and Hannover Germany was done The mosquitoes of the Culex genus have epidemiological significance as vectors of arboviruses and other pathogens of humans and animals Based on molecular genetics methodsit was shown that the park in Berlin in was inhabited by Culexpipiens form pipiens while in the watercontainerin Hannover coexistence of Cx pipiens form pipiens and Cx torrentium was noted All females carrying sucked human blood and caught in the flats belong to Cx pipiens form molestus Molecular differentiation has revealed the coexistence of various Culex taxa in cities which increases the probability of hybridization and the appearance of potential bridge vectors between birds and humans
