Aedes mosquito-transmitted diseases, such as dengue, Zika and chikungunya, are
becoming major global health emergencies while old threats, such as yellow fever, are re …

Abstract Abstract Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are the main vectors of highly
pathogenic viruses for humans, such as dengue (DENV), chikungunya (CHIKV), and Zika …

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

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic flavivirus and a major cause
of human viral encephalitis in Asia. We provide an overview of the knowledge on vector …

A host's immune system plays a central role in shaping the composition of the microbiota
and, in return, resident microbes influence immune responses. Symbiotic associations of the …

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 …

Aedes mosquitoes are vectors for many pathogenic viruses. Cell culture systems facilitate
the investigation of virus growth in the mosquito vector. We found Zika virus (ZIKV) growth to …

Summary The World Health Organization estimates that more than half of the world's
population is at risk for vector-borne diseases, including arboviruses. Because many …

More than 25% of human infectious diseases are vector-borne diseases (VBDs). These
diseases, caused by pathogens shared between animals and humans, are a growing threat …

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 …
