We evaluated the susceptibility to infection and transmission of West Nile virus (WNV) in seven populations of Culex pipiens pipiens (L.), Cx. p. quinquefasciatus Say, and from populations containing Cx. pipiens/quinquefasciatits hybrids in a north-south transect of California. Samples were identified to species or as hybrid forms based on morphology of male terminalia. After 7 and 14 days of extrinsic incubation, few females were infected and none transmitted WNV from samples of Cx. p. pipiens from northern Shasta County and of Cx. p. quinquefasciatus from southern Los Angeles County. Seven days after infective feeding, 13%-36% of mosquitoes from the counties of Merced, Fresno, Kern, and San Bernardino were infected, and 12%-40% of infected mosquitoes expressed WNV in salivary expectorate. Fourteen days after infective feeding, 18%-43% of mosquitoes from these counties were infected, and 50%-69% of infected mosquitoes transmitted WNV in salivary expectorate. A sample of Cx. p. quinquefasciatus from Riverside County did not transmit WNV after 7 days, but 71% transmitted 14 days after infective feeding. These results reveal extensive geographic variation in vector competence for WNV in the Culex pipiens complex in California.
