Modeling<i>Wolbachia</i>Spread in Mosquitoes Through Delay Differential Equations
2014-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Dengue fever is the most common mosquito-borne viral disease. A promising control strategy targets the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti by releasing the mosquitoes infected by the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia to invade and replace the wild population. With infection, Wolbachia reduces the mosquito's dengue transmission potential and brings infected females a reproductive advantage through cytoplasmic incompatibi...
