Wolbachia are successful Gram-negative bacterial endosymbionts, globally infecting a large
fraction of arthropod species and filarial nematodes. Efficient vertical transmission, 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 …

Background The introduction of the bacterium Wolbachia (w Mel strain) into Aedes aegypti
mosquitoes reduces their capacity to transmit dengue and other arboviruses. Evidence of a …

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 …

Background: The wMel strain of Wolbachia has been successfully introduced into Aedes
aegypti mosquitoes and subsequently shown to reduce transmission of dengue and other …

Some strains of the inherited bacterium Wolbachia have been shown to be effective at
reducing the transmission of dengue virus (DENV) and other RNA viruses by Aedes aegypti …

The ability of the maternally transmitted endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia to induce
cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) and virus blocking makes it a promising weapon for …

The increase of environmental temperature due to current global warming is not only
favouring the expansion of the distribution range of many insect species, but it is also …

The “One Health” concept considers that human and animal health, and ecosystems are
closely related and aims to make a link between ecology and human and veterinary …

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