The effect of virus-blocking Wolbachia on male competitiveness of the dengue vector mosquito, Aedes aegypti.
The bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia blocks the transmission of dengue virus by its vector mosquito Aedes aegypti, and is currently being evaluated for control of dengue outbreaks. Wolbachia induces cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) that results in the developmental failure of offspring in the cross...
