Long-read sequencing reveals genomic landscape of structural variants in a major disease vector

The southern house mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus is a major disease vector for multiple arboviruses, including West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis virus. Insecticides are widely used to control Cx. quinquefasciatus populations, but resistant mosquitoes have emerged in numerous locations across the globe, including the United States. Much progress has been made in recent years in…
