| Abstract: | Morphological, biological, and molecular-genetic characteristics of Culex pipiens and C. torrentium, collected from two sites in Moscow and five sites in Moscow Province, were studied. Our results demonstrated the absence of any differences between females of these species in the R 2/R 2+3 ratio. Figures and photographs of the male genitalia are given. Differences between the species in the mDNA cytochrome oxydase I gene and the 1TS2 region of the rDNA were revealed. 90–100% of C. pipiens and 0% of C. torrentium were infested with the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia pipientis. |
