At the forefront of vector control efforts are strategies that leverage host-microbe associations
to reduce vectorial capacity. The most promising of these efforts employs Wolbachia, a …

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

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a considerable threat to human and animal
health, yet effective control measures have proven difficult to implement, and novel means of …

Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted bacterium that is widespread in arthropods and filarial
nematodes and confers strong antiviral protection in Drosophila melanogaster and other …

The ability of the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis to restrict RNA viruses is presently
being leveraged to curb global transmission of arbovirus-induced diseases. Past studies …

Wolbachia are maternally inherited intracellular bacterial symbionts that are estimated to
infect more than 60% of all insect species. While Wolbachia is commonly found in many …

Wolbachia is an intracellular endosymbiont of insects that inhibits the replication of a range
of pathogens in its arthropod hosts. The release of Wolbachia into wild populations of …

Mosquito-transmitted diseases impose a growing burden on human health, and current
control strategies have proven insufficient to stem the tide. The bacterium Wolbachia is a …

Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted bacterium that lives inside arthropod cells. Historically,
it was viewed primarily as a parasite that manipulates host reproduction, but more recently it …

In the last decade, bacterial symbionts have been shown to play an important role in
protecting hosts against pathogens. Wolbachia, a widespread symbiont in arthropods, can …
