The molecular characters suitable for the differentiation between the autogenous form of Culex pipiens pipiens (the urban mosquito) and the species Culex torrentium, which was previously identified erroneously as an anautogenous form of C. pipiens pipiens (Shaikevich, Vinogradova, 2004), are given. These mosquitoes differ in the infection by the endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia pipientis, 6 transitions among 247 nucleotide sequences of 3' part of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), in the mtDNA fragments resulted from the restriction analysis, and in the lengths of second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) sequences in the ribosomal DNA.

Interactions between microbial communities and the host can modulate mosquito biology, including vector competence. Therefore, future vector biocontrol measures will utilize these interactions and require extensive monitoring of the mosquito microbiome. Metabarcoding strategies will be useful for conducting vector monitoring on a large scale.
