Deploying dengue-suppressing <i>Wolbachia:</i> robust models predict slow but effective spatial spread in <i>Aedes aegypti</i>

2016-12-11

Abstract excerpt

A novel strategy for controlling the spread of arboviral diseases such as dengue, Zika and chikungunya is to transform mosquito populations with virus-suppressing Wolbaehia . In general, Wolbachia transinfected into mosquitoes induce fitness costs through lower viability or fecundity. These maternally inherited bacteria also produce a frequency-dependent advantage for infected females by inducing cytoplasmic inc...
