Culex pipiens (House mosquito) Culex pipiens pipiens (Northern house mosquito) Culex quinquefasciatus (Southern house mosquito) (Culex pungens) Culex pipiens complex sp. Culex pipiens pallens Est-3 (coding esterase A)
Two esterase loci on chromosome alpha, Est-3 (coding esterase A) and Est-2 (coding esterase B), are amplified, expressing a higher amount of esterases and providing a substantial level of OP resistance. These two loci are tightly linked, and are always in complete linkage disequilibrium when amplified, thus they are referred to as the Ester superlocus. To date, 11 alleles conferring OP resistance have been identified at the Ester locus (the corresponding overproduced esterases are named in parentheses): Ester1(A1), Ester2(A2-B2), Ester4(A4-B4), Ester5(A5-B5), Ester8(A8-B8), Ester9(A9-B9), EsterB1(B1), EsterB6(B6), EsterB7(B7) EsterB7(B7), EsterB10(B10), Ester11(A11-B11) Other strains: Culex pipiens (House mosquito) Culex pipiens pipiens (Northern house mosquito) Culex quinquefasciatus (Southern house mosquito) (Culex pungens) Culex pipiens complex sp.
