摘要: Epidemics of West Nile virus (WNV) occurred for two consecutive years in Greece (in 2010 and 2011). A total 16,116 adult Culex pipiens mosquitoes collected peripheries, Central Macedonia Thessaly, were tested WNV infection. lineage 2 was detected 6/296 mosquito pools, three each year. The H249P substitution the NS3 protein, previously associated with increased pathogenicity thermotolerance, all six WNV-positive pools. When 21 individual C. locus CQ11 to distinguish between forms, molestus, 71.4 % identified as pipiens, 4.7 19 hybrid pipiens/molestus, giving first evidence that both biotypes are present Greece, a significant proportion being hybrids. exact role forms hybrids epidemiology, combination or not genome, remains be elucidated.
