Abstract excerpt
Wolbachia is an endosymbiotic bacterium widely distributed among arthropods and has been reported in Anopheles gambiae s.l. Transmitted maternally, Wolbachia can manipulate host reproductive biology and has the ability to reduce or block the transmission of pathogens. This study aimed to analyze the genetic diversity of Wolbachia strains infecting the An. gambiae complex in Côte d'Ivoire. Larvae of An. gambiae...
