Wolbachia are endosymbionts found in many insects with the potential to suppress
vectorborne diseases, particularly through interfering with pathogen transmission …

Dengue is the most common arboviral infection of humans, responsible for a substantial
disease burden across the tropics. Traditional insecticide-based vector-control programmes …

Dengue has enormous health impacts globally. A novel approach to decrease dengue
incidence involves the introduction of Wolbachia endosymbionts that block dengue virus …

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

Abstract Background Introduced Wolbachia bacteria can influence the susceptibility of
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to arboviral infections as well as having detrimental effects on …

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 …

Wolbachia bacteria are now being introduced into Aedes aegypti mosquito populations for
dengue control. When Wolbachia infections are at a high frequency, they influence the local …

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with the w Mel strain of Wolbachia are being released
into natural mosquito populations in the tropics as a way of reducing dengue transmission …

Wolbachia endosymbionts are potentially useful tools for suppressing disease transmission
by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes because Wolbachia can interfere with the transmission of …

Modified Aedes aegypti mosquitoes reared in laboratories are being released around the
world to control wild mosquito populations and the diseases they transmit. Several efforts …
