By including the maturation period τ of wild mosquitoes, we develop a delay differential
equation model to study the suppression of wild mosquito population by releasing …

Experiments and field trials have shown that the intracellular bacterium Wolbachia may be
introduced into populations of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, the primary vector for dengue …

Dengue fever is the most common mosquito-borne viral disease. A promising control
strategy targets the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti by releasing the mosquitoes infected by …

Wolbachia are endosymbionts that are found in many insect species and can spread rapidly
when introduced into a naive host population. Most Wolbachia spread when their infection …

In this paper, we propose a sex-structured entomological model that serves as a basis for
design of control strategies relying on releases of sterile male mosquitoes (Aedes spp) and …

Wolbachia-based biocontrol has recently emerged as a potential method for prevention and
control of dengue and other vector-borne diseases. Major vector species, such as Aedes …

Vector control is critical to limit the circulation of vector-borne diseases, like chikungunya,
dengue or zika, which have become important issues around the world. Among them, the …

Dengue fever and Zika are mosquito-borne diseases threatening human health. A novel
strategy for mosquito-borne disease control uses the bacterium Wolbachia to block virus …

Mosquitoes are primary vectors of life-threatening diseases such as dengue, malaria, and
Zika. A new control method involves releasing mosquitoes carrying bacterium Wolbachia …

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease with 100 million people infected annually. A
novel strategy for dengue control uses the bacterium Wolbachia to invade dengue vector …
