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

Vector-borne viral diseases pose significant risks to human health. To control the
transmission of these viruses, a number of approaches are required. The ability of the …

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

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 …

Wolbachia is an endosymbiotic Alphaproteobacteria that can suppress insect-borne
diseases through decreasing host virus transmission (population replacement) or through …

The bacterial symbiont Wolbachia can protect insects against viral pathogens, and the
varying levels of antiviral protection are correlated with the endosymbiont load within the …

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 …

Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted bacterial symbiont that is estimated to infect
approximately half of arthropod species. In the laboratory it can increase the resistance of …

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 …

Understanding viral dynamics in arthropods is of great importance when designing models
to describe how viral spread can influence arthropod populations. The endosymbiotic …
