Culex restuans is a species of mosquito known to occur in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras.[1] It is a disease vector for St. Louis encephalitis and West Nile virus.[2] In 2013 West Nile Virus positive specimens were collected in Southern California.[3][4]
Entomophthoraceae family, fungus Species Erynia conica infects (and kills) mosquitos Aedes aegypti and Culex restuans. Attempts are being made to use it as a biological control for the insect.[5]
