This article presents an overview of paratransgenesis as a strategy to control pathogen
transmission by insect vectors. It first briefly summarises some of the disease-causing …

The growing expansion of mosquito vectors has made mosquito-borne arboviral diseases a
global threat to public health, and the lack of licensed vaccines and treatments highlight the …

Wolbachia are maternally inherited endosymbiotic bacteria found within many insect
species. Aedes mosquitoes experimentally infected with Wolbachia are being released into …

Wolbachia is an endosymbiotic bacterium that naturally infects several arthropods and
nematode species. Wolbachia gained particular attention due to its impact on their host …

How microbe–microbe interactions dictate microbial complexity in the mosquito gut is
unclear. Previously we found that, Serratia, a gut symbiont that alters vector competence and …

The mosquito body hosts highly diverse microbes, which influence different physiological
traits of both larvae and adults. The composition of adult mosquito microbiota is tightly linked …

Mosquitoes transmit medically important human pathogens, including viruses like dengue
virus and parasites such as Plasmodium spp., the causative agent of malaria. Mosquito …

Simple Summary Aedes aegypti is a mosquito capable of transmitting many viral diseases
such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. Since no effective treatments are available for …

Abstract Background The endosymbiont bacterium Wolbachia is maternally inherited and
naturally infects some filarial nematodes and a diverse range of arthropods, including …

Wolbachia is a maternally inherited bacterium commonly detected in approximately 50% of
arthropod species, including mosquito vector species. Wolbachia species have been …
