The wMel Strain of Wolbachia Reduces Transmission of Chikungunya Virus in Aedes aegypti

28 Apr 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: New approaches to preventing chikungunya virus (CHIKV) are needed because current methods are limited to controlling mosquito populations, and they have not prevented the invasion of this virus into new locales, nor have they been sufficient to control the virus upon arrival. A promising candidate for arbovirus control and prevention relies on the introduction of the intracellular bacterium Wolbachia...
