Abstract
Cytoplasmic incompatibilities were observed between strains derived from various natural populations of Culex pipiens in southern France. Their existence in a restricted geographic area heavily submitted to pest control by insecticides may have an important impact on the selection and dispersal of the genes conferring resistance. In addition, it is possible that cytoplasmic incompatibilities play some role in the relationships between Culex pipiens populations colonizing hypogeous and epigeous larval sites, i.e. populations sometimes referred to in the literature as molestus and pipiens.
