Background   Culex pipiens  L. is the most widespread mosquito vector in temperate regions including North Africa.  Cx. pipiens  has two recognized forms or biotypes; pipiens and molestus are morphologically indistinguishable with distinct behavior and physiology that may influence their vectorial status. In our study, we prospected for the different forms of  Cx. pipiens  in Morocco.    Methods   Cx. pipiens  larvae were collected in 9 sites throughout Morocco during summer 2010 and reared until imago stage.  Cx. pipiens  was identified using diagnostic primers designed for the flanking region of microsatellite CQ11.    Results  We established the presence of both forms of  Cx. pipiens  and their hybrids in Morocco.    Conclusions  Molecular identification provides the first evidence of the presence of  Cx. pipiens  form molestus in Morocco and hybrids between pipiens and molestus forms in North Africa. The epidemiological implications of our findings are discussed.
