Bacteriophage WO‐B andWolbachiain natural mosquito hosts: infection incidence, transmission mode and relative density
24 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophages of Wolbachia bacteria have been proposed as a potential transformation tool for genetically modifying mosquito vectors. In this study, we report the presence of the WO-B class of Wolbachia-associated phages among natural populations of several mosquito hosts. Eighty-eight percent (22/25) of Wolbachia-infected mosquito species surveyed were found to contain WO-B phages. WO-B phage orf7 sequence...
