30 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Wolbachia , a common vertically transmitted symbiont, can protect insects against viral infection and prevent mosquitoes from transmitting viral pathogens. For this reason, Wolbachia- infected mosquitoes are being released to prevent the transmission of dengue and other arboviruses.
