In this review we examine how exploiting the Wolbachia–mosquito relationship has become
an increasingly popular strategy for controlling arbovirus transmission. Field deployments of …

Recent field trials have demonstrated that dengue incidence can be substantially reduced
by introgressing strains of the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia into Aedes aegypti …

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

Aedes mosquitoes harboring intracellular Wolbachia bacteria are being released in
arbovirus and mosquito control programs. With releases taking place around the world …

The introgression of antiviral strains of Wolbachia into Aedes aegypti mosquito populations
is a public health intervention for the control of dengue. Plausibly, dengue virus (DENV) …

Mosquitoes carrying endosymbiotic bacteria called Wolbachia are being released in
mosquito and arbovirus control programs around the world through two main approaches …

Mosquito‐borne diseases remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Population
replacement strategies involving the w Mel strain of Wolbachia are being used widely to …

Aedes aegypti mosquito eggs can remain quiescent for many months before hatching,
allowing populations to persist through unfavourable conditions. A. aegypti infected with the …

Infection of w Mel Wolbachia in Aedes aegypti imparts two signature features that enable its
application for biocontrol of dengue. First, the susceptibility of mosquitoes to viruses such as …

Background Gene drive-modified mosquitoes (GDMMs) have been promoted as one of the
innovative technologies that may control and eliminate malaria and other mosquito-borne …
