MODELLING THE INTRODUCTION OF <i>WOLBACHIA</i> INTO <i>AEDES AEGYPTI</i> MOSQUITOES TO REDUCE DENGUE TRANSMISSION
2012-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Infecting Aedes aegypti mosquitoes with the bacteria Wolbachia has been proposed as an innovative new strategy to reduce the transmission of dengue fever. Field trials are currently being undertaken in Queensland, Australia. However, few mathematical models have been developed to consider the persistence of Wolbachia -infected mosquitoes in the wild.
