Direct nucleic acid analysis of mosquitoes for high fidelity species identification and detection of <i>Wolbachia</i> using a cellphone
2018-03-29
Abstract excerpt
Manipulation of natural mosquito populations using the endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia is being investigated as a novel strategy to reduce the burden of mosquito-borne viruses. To evaluate the efficacy of these interventions, it will be critical to determine Wolbachia infection frequencies in Aedes aegypti mosquito populations. However, current diagnostic tools are not well-suited to fit this need. Morphologic...
