#Culex restuans (Diptera: Culicidae) in the upper Midwest: a review of ecology, biology, control, and contributions to human WNV in the region AbstractWest Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus endemic to the United States. Several regions, including parts of the Midwest, experience sustained WNV transmission with annual local and regional outbreaks. In the upper Midwest, #Culex pipiens Linnaeus and #Culex restuans Theobold, play key roles in WNV circulation, with Cx. pipiens considered the primary epidemic vector responsible for human cases and Cx. restuans linked to early-season enzootic amplification. These species share ecological niches, have similar host preferences, and are morphologically difficult to distinguish. Both are implicated in WNV transmission, but species-level differentiation is not routinely prioritized for many surveillance and control programs due to logistical challenges and limited evidence to support the effort. This narrative review investigates the role of Cx. restuans in WNV transmission in the upper Midwest, focusing on distribution, morphology, vector competence, population dynamics, and vector control. We synthesize current evidence and identify knowledge gaps that may inform vector surveillance practices and contribute to more targeted WNV control strategies.

Vector Control, Pest Management, Resistance, RepellentsEvaluation of fruit sjuice preferences by #Aedes, #Anopheles, and #Culex mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) species for the development of effective attractive toxic sugar baits AbstractMosquito-borne diseases pose significant public health challenges, necessitating the development of effective and sustainable vector control strategies. This study investigated the feeding preferences of 4 mosquito species (#Aedes aegypti Linnaeus, #Aedes albopictus Skuse, #Culex quinquefasciatus Say, and #Anopheles quadrimaculatus Say) for various fruit juices using a home-made choice chamber. We also assessed the impact of combining biogents lure and boric acid into attractive toxic sugar baits to enhance mosquito attraction and mortality. Choice assays revealed species-specific and sex-specific preferences. In choice assays, #Aedes (Ae.) aegypti showed a preference for sweet corn juice (18.1 ± 4.0%), while Ae. albopictus preferred pumpkin juice (19.7 ± 6.0%). Female Ae. aegypti preferred sweet corn (20.2 ± 5.8%) while males preferred honey (19.8 ± 0.8%) most, but both male (22.5 ± 7.3%) and female (19.0 ± 6.8%) Ae. albopictus preferred the pumpkin most. In contrast, Cx. quinquefasciatus favored beetroot juice (17.1 ± 3.6%), and An. quadrimaculatus preferred beetroot (20.8 ± 17.4%) and peach juices (20.1 ± 9.7%). Olfactometer assays for female Ae. aegypti showed enhanced attractiveness with the addition of 3% biogents lure to beetroot juice (61.5 ± 6.5%) compared to beetroot juice (38.9 ± 6.5%) alone. Mortality bioassays confirmed the efficacy of attractive toxic sugar baits formulations containing biogents lure, boric acid, and fruit juices, achieving 86.7% to 100% mortality in all 4 mosquito species within 48 h. While these findings underscore the potential of combining natural and synthetic attractants for mosquito control; the study’s laboratory setting and lack of field validation necessitate further research to ensure ecological safety and real-world applicability.
