Arboviruses transmitted by mosquitoes are a major cause of human disease worldwide. The
absence of vaccines and effective vector control strategies has resulted in the need for novel …

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 …

Mosquito-borne viruses such as dengue, West Nile and chikungunya viruses cause
significant morbidity and mortality in human populations. Since current methods are not …

Genetic strategies that reduce or block pathogen transmission by mosquitoes have been
proposed as a means of augmenting current control measures to reduce the growing burden …

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

Following transfer into the primary arbovirus vector Aedes aegypti, several strains of the
intracellular bacterium Wolbachia have been shown to inhibit the transmission of dengue …

Wolbachia is a maternal transmitted endosymbiotic bacterium that is estimated to infect up to
65% of insect species. The ability of Wolbachia to both induce viral interference and spread …

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

Biological control of mosquito vectors using the endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia is an
emerging strategy for the management of human arboviral diseases. We recently described …

Wolbachia-based vector control strategies have been proposed as a means to augment the
currently existing measures for controlling dengue and chikungunya vectors. Prior to utilizing …
