Female specimens were collected host-seeking at dry-ice-baited traps during autumn\u2013winter\u2013spring at two sites in C\u00f3rdoba City during 2016 and 2017. The specimens were morphologically identified and dissected to determine the follicular developmental stage (gonotrophic activity). Females with advanced follicular stages (\u2265III) were subjected to molecular procedures to confirm or re-identify previous morphological identification. Five species (Culex apicinus Philippi (Diptera: Culicidae), Culex dolosus (Lynch-Arrib\u00e1lzaga) (Diptera: Culicidae), Culex maxi Dyar (Diptera: Culicidae), Culex pipiens pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae), and Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae)) were collected and found gonoactive during winter; showing that a high proportion of Culex (Culex) females remain reproductively active during the unfavorable season for mosquito populations. Among them, it is worth noting the collection of Cx. quinquefasciatus, vector of the St. Louis encephalitis virus (endemic in the city), a specimen of Cx. p. pipiens, and a hybrid of Cx. p. pipiens\/Cx. quinquefasciatus (during autumn). The study of this community during winter should continue because a high gonoactive female proportion with advanced follicular stages was found: 29.12 and 13.07% in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Local studies such as this one provide evidence about ornithophilic Culex species with active year-round life cycles, species that could favor arbovirus overwintering.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjaa295","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,23]],"date-time":"2021-01-23T12:21:31Z","timestamp":1611404491000},"page":"1454-1458","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Gonoactivity of <i>Culex<\/i> (<i>Culex<\/i>) (Diptera: Culicidae) Mosquitoes During Winter in Temperate Argentina"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Mar\u00eda Florencia","family":"Branda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, F\u00edsicas y Naturales, Centro de Investigaciones Entomol\u00f3gicas de C\u00f3rdoba, Universidad Nacional de C\u00f3rdoba, C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Magdalena","family":"Laurito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, F\u00edsicas y Naturales, Centro de Investigaciones Entomol\u00f3gicas de C\u00f3rdoba, Universidad Nacional de C\u00f3rdoba, C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina"},{"name":"Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas y T\u00e9cnicas, CONICET, Instituto de Investigaciones Biol\u00f3gicas y Tecnol\u00f3gicas (IIByT), C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6846-5029","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9s Mario","family":"Visintin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, F\u00edsicas y Naturales, Centro de Investigaciones Entomol\u00f3gicas de C\u00f3rdoba, Universidad Nacional de C\u00f3rdoba, C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina"},{"name":"Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas y T\u00e9cnicas, CONICET, Instituto de Investigaciones Biol\u00f3gicas y Tecnol\u00f3gicas (IIByT), C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina"},{"name":"Instituto de Biolog\u00eda de la Conservaci\u00f3n y Paleobiolog\u00eda (IBiCoPa), Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n e Innovaci\u00f3n Tecnol\u00f3gica (CENIIT), Universidad Nacional de La Rioja, La Rioja, Argentina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Walter Ricardo","family":"Almir\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, F\u00edsicas y Naturales, Centro de Investigaciones Entomol\u00f3gicas de C\u00f3rdoba, Universidad Nacional de C\u00f3rdoba, C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina"},{"name":"Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas y T\u00e9cnicas, CONICET, Instituto de Investigaciones Biol\u00f3gicas y Tecnol\u00f3gicas (IIByT), C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021051508391510300_CIT0001","first-page":"81","article-title":"Distribuci\u00f3n estacional de Culicidae (Diptera) en \u00e1reas perif\u00e9ricas de C\u00f3rdoba (Argentina)","volume":"5","author":"Almir\u00f3n","year":"1995","journal-title":"Ecol.
