Journal ArticleDOI
A Wolbachia Symbiont in Aedes aegypti Limits Infection with Dengue, Chikungunya, and Plasmodium
Luciano Andrade Moreira,Inaki Iturbe-Ormaetxe,Jason A. L. Jeffery,Guangjin Lu,Alyssa T. Pyke,Lauren M. Hedges,Bruno Coelho Rocha,Sonja Hall-Mendelin,Andrew Day,Markus Riegler,Leon E. Hugo,Karyn N. Johnson,Brian H. Kay,Elizabeth A. McGraw,Andrew F. van den Hurk,Andrew F. van den Hurk,Peter A. Ryan,Scott Leslie O'Neill +17 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that this Wolbachia-mediated pathogen interference may work synergistically with the life-shortening strategy proposed previously to provide a powerful approach for the control of insect transmitted diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Wolbachia on Infection with Chikungunya and Yellow Fever Viruses in the Mosquito Vector Aedes aegypti
Andrew F. van den Hurk,Sonja Hall-Mendelin,Alyssa T. Pyke,Francesca D. Frentiu,Francesca D. Frentiu,Kate L. McElroy,Andrew Day,Stephen Higgs,Scott Leslie O'Neill +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether the wMel strain of Wolbachia influenced CHIKV and YFV infection in Aedes aegypti and found that the extent of pathogen reduction can be influenced by the strain of bacterium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limited Dengue Virus Replication in Field-Collected Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes Infected with Wolbachia
Francesca D. Frentiu,Tasnim Saifudin Zakir,Thomas Walker,Jean Popovici,Alyssa T. Pyke,Andrew F. van den Hurk,Elizabeth A. McGraw,Scott Leslie O'Neill +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that Wolbachia-infected field A. aegypti transinfected with the wMel strain showed limited DENV replication and dissemination to the head compared to uninfected controls.
Limited dengue virus replication in field-collected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia
Francesca D. Frentiu,Tasnim Saifudin Zakir,Thomas Walker,Jean Popovici,Alyssa T. Pyke,Andrew F. van den Hurk,Elizabeth A. McGraw,Scott Leslie O'Neill +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that virus-blocking is likely to persist in Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes after their release and establishment in wild populations, suggesting that Wolbachian biocontrol may be a successful strategy for reducing dengue transmission in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Japanese encephalitis in north Queensland, Australia, 1998.
Jeffrey N Hanna,Scott A. Ritchie,D. A. Phillips,J M Lee,Susan L Hills,A. F. Van Den Hurk,Alyssa T. Pyke,Cheryl A. Johansen,John S. Mackenzie +8 more
TL;DR: The circumstances of two cases of Japanese encephalitis (JE) in north Queensland in 1998 are described, including one acquired on the Australian mainland.
