Article · Español
Culex es un género de mosquitos hematófagos de la familia Culicidae; muchas de sus especies actúan como vectores de importantes enfermedades, como el virus del Nilo Occidental, filariasis, encefalitis virales (japonesa, equina venezolana y de San Luis) y la malaria aviar. Existen una gran variedad de especies de Culex, en 1955, en Panamá solamente, se describieron 88 especies. Hay más de mil especies en veinte subgéneros. El mosquito adulto puede medir de 4-10 mm y morfológicamente la cabeza, tórax y abdomen están bien definidos. Posee un par de alas (como todos los dípteros), las cuales lo habilitan para volar, un factor importante en la capacidad del artrópodo para transmitir enfermedades. El nombre del género, Culex, significa «mosquito» en latín.
