Isolation and identification of α-proteobacteria from Culex pipiens (Diptera Culicidae) larvae
A survey of drainage ditches in suburban areas of La Plata, Buenos Aires province, Argentina for pathogens of Culex pipiens larvae was conducted from 2003 to 2006. C. pipiens larvae of opaque, white color were found in several of those field collections. When the white larvae were dissected and obse...
