“…Aedes cinereus mosquitoes, from which Lammi virus was isolated, are widely distributed and populate Northwestern Russia [ 64 , 80 ], Western Europe, European Russia, Siberia, the Russian Far East (including Sakhalin Island and the Kamchatka Peninsula), Transcaucasia, Central Asia, and North America [ 68 , 69 ]. In Western Europe, Ae.…”

In the last few years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of discovered viruses that are transmitted by arthropods. Some of them are pathogenic for humans and mammals, and the pathogenic potential of others is unknown. The genus Orthoflavivirus belongs to the family Flaviviridae and includes arboviruses that cause severe human diseases with damage to the central nervous system and hemorrhagic fevers, as well as viruses with unknown vectors and viruses specific only to insects. The latter group includes Lammi virus, first isolated from a mosquito pool in Finland. It is known that Lammi virus successfully replicates in mosquito cell lines but not in mammalian cell cultures or mice. Lammi virus reduces the reproduction of West Nile virus during superinfection and thus has the potential to reduce the spread of West Nile virus in areas where Lammi virus is already circulating. In this work, we isolated Lammi virus from a pool of adult Aedes cinereus mosquitoes that hatched from larvae/pupae collected in Saint Petersburg, Russia. This fact may indicate transovarial transmission and trans-stadial survival of the virus.

“…Similarly, a recent comprehensive overview was written about the mosquitoes of northwestern Russia, reporting a total of 46 species and comparing the results to data from neighboring countries (Khalin & Aibulatov 2020). This was followed by a publication about the northernmost records of these mosquito species (Khalin & Aibulatov 2021). In contrast, the most recent checklist of the mosquitoes of Estonia was published in the mid-Twentieth Century (Remm 1957).…”

Female mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) affect their hosts in numerous negative ways and are crucial to the spread of vector-borne pathogens. It is, therefore, important to have a detailed overview of regional mosquitoes, to be able to detect changes in species diversity and identify possible health threats. The aim of this study was to update the checklist of the mosquito fauna of Estonia for the first time since 1957. For this purpose, 24,344 adult mosquitoes (94% females) were collected in Estonia from 2008 to 2020 using various trapping methods. Specimens were primarily identified by morphological characteristics, but DNA barcoding based on the partial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (COI) was also used. Species were included in the checklist based on historical records as well as new collections, while also considering reports from neighboring countries. Species records are supplemented with voucher specimens, distribution maps and DNA evidence. The updated checklist includes 34 species, 27 of which were confirmed with recently collected material. All in all, Aedes communis (de Geer, 1776) proved to be the most common mosquito in Estonia, accounting for 30.1% of the specimens collected. This is noteworthy, as this species has been implicated in the transmission of multiple disease agents present in the area. New evidence revealed the presence of Ae. hexodontus Dyar, 1916, Ae. sticticus (Meigen, 1838), Anopheles messeae Falleroni, 1926 and Culiseta bergrothi (Edwards, 1921) in Estonia.
