Culex pipiens is a species of mosquito commonly referred to as the common house mosquito or northern house mosquito.Native to Africa, Asia and Europe, it is now widely distributed in temperate regions on every continent except Antarctica [1] and is one of the most common mosquitoes found in human habitats in temperate parts of the northern hemisphere.

Culex or typical mosquitoes are a genus of mosquitoes, several species of which serve as vectors of one or more important diseases of birds, humans, and other animals. The diseases they vector include arbovirus infections such as West Nile virus , Japanese encephalitis , or St. Louis encephalitis , but also filariasis and avian malaria .
Culex quinquefasciatus (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 a vector of Wuchereria bancrofti , avian malaria , and arboviruses including St. Louis encephalitis virus , Western equine encephalitis virus , Zika ...

Females in genera such as Culex, Culiseta, and Uranotaenia lay their eggs in floating rafts. [20] [21] Mansonia females in contrast lay their eggs in arrays, attached usually to the under-surfaces of waterlily pads. [22] Clutches of eggs of most mosquito species hatch simultaneously, but Aedes eggs in diapause hatch irregularly over an extended ...
More specifically, this mosquito, Culex pipiens molestus, breeds all-year round, is cold intolerant, and bites rats, mice, and humans, in contrast to the above ground species Culex pipiens that is cold tolerant, hibernates in the winter, and bites only birds. When the two varieties were cross-bred the eggs were infertile suggesting reproductive ...
During dry conditions, the virus can remain viable for a number of years in the egg. Mosquitos lay their eggs in water, where they eventually hatch. As water is essential for mosquito eggs to hatch, rainfall and flooding cause an increase in the mosquito population and an increased potential for the virus.
