A promising candidate for arbovirus control and prevention relies on replacing arbovirus-
susceptible Aedes aegypti populations with mosquitoes that have been colonized by the …

Aedes aegypti is the principal mosquito vector of dengue, yellow fever, Zika and
chikungunya viruses. The w Mel strain of the endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia pipientis …

Zika is a vector-borne disease caused by an arbovirus (ZIKV) and overwhelmingly
transmitted by Ae. aegypti. This disease is linked to adverse fetal outcomes, mostly …

Wolbachia is currently at the forefront of global efforts to control arbovirus transmission from
the vector Aedes aegypti. The use of Wolbachia relies on two phenotypes—cytoplasmic …

Wolbachia is an insect endosymbiont being used for biological control in the mosquito
Aedes aegypti because it causes cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) and limits viral replication …

Wolbachia is an obligate intracellular bacterial symbiont prevalent among arthropods and
nematodes. To survive and reproduce, Wolbachia interacts with and modifies host …

Multiple Wolbachia strains can block pathogen infection, replication and/or transmission in
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes under both laboratory and field conditions. However, Wolbachia …
