1 Documenting Virginia s New Illegal Aliens Culex coronator and Culex nigripalpus Notes on recent expansions and US distributions Karen Akaratovic, Jay Kiser, and Charles Abadam kakaratovic@suffolkva.us Suffolk Mosquito Control Suffolk, Virginia VMCA Annual Conference Portsmouth, VA January 25, 2018
2 Contents Culex coronator Bionomics Suffolk, Virginia collection (2016) US distribution and recent expansions Culex nigripalpus Bionomics Suffolk, Virginia collection (2017) US distribution and recent expansions Future outlook
3 Culex coronator Neotropical Known range: Patagonia to southern US (no record in Chile) Previously thought to be complex of 5 species New data (2017) suggests it is a single polymorphic species 1 Polymorphic = multiple phenotypes (forms) of same species Commons.wikimedia.org Example: sexual dimorphism
4 Culex coronator Habitat Larvae 2-8 Natural and artificial containers Woodland spring, flood pools, rock pools, ditches Adults 3,9-11 Wooded and cleared areas Campgrounds, cemeteries, floodplains Corral/pasture areas Sand ridge, cattail marsh, cypress swamp meeting/moulis.pdf o.org/resources/2008m eeting/moulis.pdf Goddard et al. 2006
5 Culex coronator Larval Morphology Harrison et al Siphon length 7-9 times width at base Distinctive crown of spines at apex of siphon
6 Culex coronator Adult Morphology Easily confused with Cx. tarsalis Hindtarsomeres banded across joints Proboscis- ventral median patch of pale scales (not a band) Palpus without pale scales Costal and subcostal veins all dark
7 Culex coronator Trapping Collected year-round where endemic Bioquip.com johnwhock.com Collected primarily late summer/fall for new discoveries Smith et al Smith Bioquip.com et al Most common trap types: CDC light & CDC gravid 3,4,9 Other trap types: UV-CDC, ABC light, ABC Mosquito Magnet X, Fay-Prince, Malaise, Hourly rotator, EVS Suffolk collection: BG-Sentinel 2 16
8 Culex coronator Hosts White-tailed deer Carolina chickadee Tufted titmouse Domestic cat Domestic dog Domestic horse Northern raccoon River otter Virginia opossum Human
9 Culex coronator Vector Competence WNV (in US) Field-collected females found 13,15,17 Highly susceptible in laboratory conditions (80-100%) Similar or higher transmission rates than Culex pipiens, Cx. quinquefasciatus and Cx. restuans 7 SLE (Trinidad and Brazil) 28,29 VEE (Mexico) 26 Ilheus virus (Peru) 27
10 Culex coronator Suffolk, VA collection New species state record November 1, 2016: collected 1 female specimen 16 No further specimens collected as of this report, despite increased trapping and larval surveying

16 Culex nigripalpus Tropical/Neotropical Known range: Patagonia to southern US (no record in Chile) Indistinct adult morphology; easily confused with Cx. salinarius, Cx. pipiens complex, Cx. quinquefasciatus, and Cx. restuans Commons.wikimedia.org
17 Larvae30, 31, 34 Culex nigripalpus Habitat Prefers fresh flooded, recent organic infusion, re-flooded every 10 d Tolerate a wide range of conditions Permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary pools Natural and artificial containers FW swamp, brackish water, even salt marsh Adults30, 40 Prefer high humidity conditions (> 90%); dense vegetation Found in diverse habitats, especially after heavy rainfall: Residential areas Pine forests Adjacent to salt marshes Floodplains Day & Curtis, 1994
18 Culex nigripalpus Larval Morphology Head seta 5,6C with 3-4 branches Siphon length 6-7 times width at base 4 pairs of setae 1-S (siphon); basal pair usually single, 2x siphon width Mesothoracic seta 1-M tiny seta 2-M Carpenter and LaCasse 1955 Thoracic integument with tiny aciculae (spicules) Harrison et al. 2016
19 Culex nigripalpus Adult Morphology Features can be damaged in common adult traps Easily confused with : Cx. pipiens, Cx. quinquefasciatus Cx. restuans, Cx. salinarius Hindtarsomeres and proboscis dark, rarely with pale ventral scales Mid-lobe of scutellum with basal patch of fine dark brown scales Bugguide.net
20 Culex nigripalpus Adult Morphology Abdominal terga with indistinct/narrow pale bands and large basolateral patches on distal segments Segment VII mostly dark Sides of thorax appear glossy Mesepimeron without pale median patch
21
22 Culex nigripalpus Trapping Collected late summer and fall throughout range in US Strong correlation between emergence and humidity/rainfall Ideal: alternating heavy rain, drought conditions Bioquip.com Most commonly collected in New Jersey and CDC light traps, gravid traps Suffolk collection: CDC & BG-Sentinel 2
23 Culex nigripalpus Hosts Opportunistic feeder Seasonal transitions from avian to mammalian12, 39 Northern cardinal, common grackle, domestic chicken Northern raccoon, Virginia opossum, white-tailed deer Amplification and enzootic vector

Burkett- Cadena, 2013 Cx. nigripalpus Cx. pipiens, Cx quinquefasciatus, Cx. restuans, Cx. salinarius
33 Cx. coronator & Cx. nigripalpus Possible causes of expansion
34 Future Outlook Cx. coronator and Cx. nigripalpus will most likely continue crossing borders May become established in VA Arboviral potential More species expanding in the coming decades as global temperatures increase
