Aedes aegypti mosquitoes carrying self-spreading, virus-blocking Wolbachia bacteria are
being deployed to suppress dengue transmission. However, there are challenges in …

Endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria are potent modulators of pathogen infection and
transmission in multiple naturally and artificially infected insect species, including important …

Mosquitoes that carry Wolbachia endosymbionts may help control the spread of arboviral
diseases, such as dengue, Zika and chikungunya. Wolbachia frequencies systematically …

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

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

Mosquito species, members of the genera Aedes, Anopheles and Culex, are the major
vectors of human pathogens including protozoa (Plasmodium sp.), filariae and of a variety of …

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 is an intracellular endosymbiont present in most arthropod and filarial nematode
species. Transmission between hosts is primarily vertical, taking place exclusively through …

In many regions of the world, mosquito-borne viruses pose a growing threat to human
health. As an alternative to traditional control measures, the bacterial symbiont Wolbachia …
