The effect ofWolbachiaon dengue dynamics in the presence of two serotypes of dengue: symmetric and asymmetric epidemiological characteristics
21 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
An innovative strategy to reduce dengue transmission uses the bacterium Wolbachia. We analysed the effects of Wolbachia on dengue transmission dynamics in the presence of two serotypes of dengue using a mathematical model, allowing for differences in the epidemiological characteristics of the serotypes. We found that Wolbachia has a greater effect on secondary infections than on primary infections across a range...
