库蚊复合体的成员被认为是许多虫媒病毒的载体，包括圣路易斯脑炎、西尼罗河病毒、辛德比病毒和裂谷热病毒。对于某些病毒，如西尼罗河病毒，实验室研究表明，该复合体的不同成员具有相似的感染和传播病毒的能力，从而为该复合体的不同成员之间的相似性提供了证据。另一方面，尽管Cx菌株。来自世界各地的库蚊都是裂谷热病毒（Cx）相对有效的载体。来自非洲、澳大利亚和北美的致倦库蚊对这种病毒几乎是不耐受的，因此表明该复合体的不同成员对特定的虫媒病毒的反应不一定相似。基于对某些病毒的相似反应和对其他病毒的不同反应，Cx。库蚊和Cx。致倦库蚊似乎是密切相关的，但不同的物种。
Members of the Culex pipiens complex have been implicated as vectors of a number of arboviruses including St. Louis encephalitis, West Nile, Sindbis, and Rift Valley fever viruses. For some viruses, such as West Nile virus, laboratory studies have indicated that various members of this complex have a similar ability to become infected with and transmit virus, thus providing evidence for the similarity among the various members of this complex. On the other hand, although strains of Cx. pipiens from various parts of the world have all been relatively efficient vectors of Rift Valley fever virus, Cx. quinquefasciatus from Africa, Australia, and North America have been nearly refractory to this virus, thus indicating that the various members of this complex do not necessarily respond similarly to a particular arbovirus. Based on the similar response to some viruses and differing response to others, Cx. pipiens and Cx. quinquefasciatus appear to be closely related, but distinct species.
