ABSTRACT
Mosquitoes can transmit a wide variety of viral and parasitic pathogens. Several species have recently been reported in new locations throughout the Arabian Peninsula as a result of entomological surveillance by the US military. We report a new national record for Culex perexiguus from Kuwait based on morphologic and molecular identification of captured samples. This mosquito might pose a public health threat to local populations and to military personnel as a potential vector of both Sindbis and West Nile viruses.
