Insecticide resistance of Culex pipiens f. pipiens is geographically widespread in Germany and displays an unmatched genotypic and phenotypic resistance state

In Germany, insecticide use is recommended during mosquito-borne disease outbreaks, yet nationwide data on insecticide resistance in key vector species are scarce. This is particularly relevant for Culex pipiens s.l., a vector of West Nile virus. Here, we provide the first broad-scale assessment of molecular insecticid...
