Phylogenetic tree of Culex pipiens complex based on ace-2 marker. The tree was reconstructed using the nucleotide sequence alignment of 502 nucleotides from 62 field collected mosquitoes. The first number on each branch indicates the value of bootstrap probability (Bp) from the bootstrap test of the ML analysis and the second number indicates the value of posterior probability (Pp) from the Bayesian analysis. Bp values >70 % and Pp values >95 % were considered statistically significant [82, 83]. Sequences JF430595, JF501651, FJ948081 (Cx. pipiens form pipiens) and the sequence AB294405 (Cx. pipiens form molestus) were retrieved from GenBank. The collapsed cluster groups Cx. quinquefasciatus sequences retrieved in GenBank with the following accession numbers: FJ210901, GQ165791-GQ165798, FN395201-FN395202, FN395204-FN395205, FJ210909-FJ210910, GU188856, HQ398883
