Culex (also called the common house mosquito) is a genus of mosquitoes.[1] It includes several species of mosquitoes that vector (carry and transmit) one or more important diseases between birds, humans and other animals. The diseases they vector include West Nile virus,[2] as well as arbovirus and filariasis infections.[3] A connection between Culex mosquitoes and malaria was first shown by Major Ronald Ross of the British Army.[4] Ross received a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1902 for his work.[5]
