Dengue-suppressing Wolbachia strains are promising tools for arbovirus control, particularly
as they have the potential to self-spread following local introductions. To test this, we …

The endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia suppresses the capacity for arbovirus transmission
in the mosquito Aedes aegypti, and can spread spatially through wild mosquito populations …

Symbionts can have mutualistic effects that increase their host's fitness and/or parasitic
effects that reduce it. Which of these strategies evolves depends in part on the balance of …

The mosquito Aedes aegypti, the principal vector of dengue virus, has recently been infected
experimentally with Wolbachia: intracellular bacteria that possess potential as dengue …

We develop and analyse an ordinary differential equation model to investigate the
transmission dynamics of releasing Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes to establish an endemic …

The intracellular endosymbiont Wolbachia has been artificially transinfected into the dengue
vector Aedes aegypti, where it is being investigated as a potential dengue biological control …

Wolbachia, a common vertically transmitted symbiont, can protect insects against viral
infection and prevent mosquitoes from transmitting viral pathogens. For this reason …

Background Wolbachia has been deployed in several countries to reduce transmission of
dengue, Zika and chikungunya viruses. During releases, Wolbachia-infected females are …

Wolbachia bacteria are being introduced into natural populations of vector mosquitoes, with
the goal of reducing the transmission of human diseases such as Zika and dengue fever …
