The Endosymbiotic Bacterium Wolbachia Induces Resistance to Dengue Virus in Aedes aegypti
1 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
Genetic strategies that reduce or block pathogen transmission by mosquitoes have been proposed as a means of augmenting current control measures to reduce the growing burden of vector-borne diseases. The endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia has long been promoted as a potential vehicle for introducing disease-resistance genes into mosquitoes, thereby making them refractory to the human pathogens they transmit.
