<i>Wolbachia</i> Screening in <i>Aedes aegypti</i> and <i>Culex pipiens</i> Mosquitoes from Madeira Island, Portugal

2025-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue and West Nile virus pose serious public health risks. On Madeira Island, the presence of the mosquito species Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens raises concerns about local transmission. In this study, we tested 100 Ae. aegypti and 40 Cx. pipiens mosquitoes to assess the presence and diversity of Wolbachia, a naturally occurring bacterium known to reduce mosquito ability to tran...
