Wolbachia infection in Aedes aegypti does not affect its vectorial capacity for Dirofilaria immitis

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue and filariasis are a growing public health concern in endemic countries. Biological approaches, such as the trans-infection of <italic>Wolbachia pipientis</italic> in mosquitoes, are an alternative vector control strategy, especially for arthropod-borne viruses such as dengue. In the present study, the effect of <italic>Wolbachia</italic> (wMel str...
