Wolbachia is an endosymbiotic Alphaproteobacteria that can suppress insect-borne
diseases through decreasing host virus transmission (population replacement) or through …

Mosquito‐borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever and filariasis cause an enormous
health burden to people living in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Despite years …

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria are currently being released for
arbovirus suppression around the world. Their potential to invade populations and persist …

Most pathogens require a relatively long period of development in their mosquito vector
before they can be transmitted to a new human host; hence, only older insects are of …

Introduction Dengue is one of the most widespread mosquito-borne diseases in the world.
The causative agent, dengue virus (DENV), is primarily transmitted by the mosquito Aedes …

Introduced transinfections of the inherited bacteria Wolbachia can inhibit transmission of
viruses by Aedes mosquitoes, and in Ae. aegypti are now being deployed for dengue control …

Mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia endosymbionts are being released in many countries for
arbovirus control. The wMel strain of Wolbachia blocks Aedes-borne virus transmission and …
