<i>Wolbachia</i> induces reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent activation of the Toll pathway to control dengue virus in the mosquito <i>Aedes aegypti</i>
28 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Wolbachia are maternally transmitted symbiotic bacteria that can spread within insect populations because of their unique ability to manipulate host reproduction. When introduced to nonnative mosquito hosts, Wolbachia induce resistance to a number of human pathogens, including dengue virus (DENV), Plasmodium, and filarial nematodes, but the molecular mechanism involved is unclear. In this study, we have...
