A29 Wolbachia for dengue control; will dengue viruses evolve resistance?
represents the dominant virus subtype. It does not provide sufficient information to resolve transmission events particularly for rapidly spreading viruses. However, changes in the composition of minor variants between hosts and the pattern of minor variants fixation during outbreaks, could provide additional high-resolution data on who is infecting whom. The same data could also potentially in...
متن کاملWolbachia versus dengue
A novel form of biological control is being applied to the dengue virus. The agent is the maternally transmitted bacterium Wolbachia, naturally absent from the main dengue vector, the mosquito Aedes aegypti. Three Wolbachia-based control strategies have been proposed. One is suppression of mosquito populations by large-scale releases of males incompatible with native females; this intervention ...
متن کاملAssessing the epidemiological effect of wolbachia for dengue control.
Dengue viruses cause more human morbidity and mortality than any other arthropod-borne virus. Dengue prevention relies mainly on vector control; however, the failure of traditional methods has promoted the development of novel entomological approaches. Although use of the intracellular bacterium wolbachia to control mosquito populations was proposed 50 years ago, only in the past decade has its...

متن کاملModelling the use of Wolbachia to control dengue fever transmission.
Experiments and field trials have shown that the intracellular bacterium Wolbachia may be introduced into populations of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, the primary vector for dengue fever. In the absence of Wolbachia, a mosquito acquiring the dengue virus from an infected human enters an exposed (infected but not infectious) period before becoming infectious itself. A Wolbachia-infected mosquito t...
