Mosquitoes, which are in the Culicidae family and have blood-sucking properties, infect humans and animals with many diseases. In the present study, it was aimed that mosquitoes spreading in the Kocaeli province were detected species identification based on DNA barcoding method. DNA isolation was performed with the samples of mosquitoes collected in the Kocaeli province between June 2017 and September 2018. Then, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and DNA sequence analysis were applied by using universal primers of the mitochondrial COI gene. The sequences in FASTA format obtained with the Chromas program were compared with those of other mosquito species in the world through the NCBI-BLAST database. For phylogenetic analysis, the sequences were uploaded into the MEGA X program, and phylogenetic trees were created in the Maximum Likelihood method, Tamura-Nei Model (Tamura & Nei, 1993), Bootstrap 1000. Among mosquitoes collected in this study, 7 species belonging to Aedes, Anopheles, Culiseta and Culex genera were identified and characterized as Aedes geniculatus (n = 10), Aedes albopictus (n = 7), Anopheles funestus (n = 1), Anopheles plumbeus (n = 1), Culiseta longiareolata (n = 1), Cx. torrentium (n = 1) and Cx. pipiens complex sp. (n = 33). Within them, Cx. pipiens complex sp. was found as the dominant species in Kocaeli. In conclusion, this study revealed the first molecular research of mosquito species spreading in Kocaeli and provided records to GenBank.

Over the past three decades, a range of mosquito-borne viruses that threaten public and veterinary health have emerged or re-emerged in Europe. Mosquito surveillance activities have highlighted the Culex pipiens species complex as being critical for the maintenance of a number of these viruses. This species complex contains morphologically similar forms that exhibit variation in phenotypes that can influence the probability of virus transmission. Critical amongst these is the choice of host on which to feed, with different forms showing different feeding preferences. This influences the ability of the mosquito to vector viruses and facilitate transmission of viruses to humans and domestic animals. Biases towards blood-feeding on avian or mammalian hosts have been demonstrated for different Cx. pipiens ecoforms and emerging evidence of hybrid populations across Europe adds another level of complexity to virus transmission. A range of molecular methods based on DNA have been developed to enable discrimination between morphologically indistinguishable forms, although this remains an active area of research. This review provides a comprehensive overview of developments in the understanding of the ecology, behaviour and genetics of Cx. pipiens in Europe, and how this influences arbovirus transmission.
