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
Effect of Wolbachia on Replication of West Nile Virus in a Mosquito Cell Line and Adult Mosquitoes
Mazhar Hussain,Guangjin Lu,Shessy Torres,Judith H. Edmonds,Brian H. Kay,Alexander A. Khromykh,Sassan Asgari +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that despite the enhancement of viral genomic RNA replication in the Wolbachia-infected cell line the production of secreted virus was significantly inhibited, the antiviral effect in intrathoracically infected mosquitoes depends on the strain of Wol Bachia, and replication of the virus in orally fed mosquitoes was completely inhibited in wMelPop strain of Wbachia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Larval Nutrition on Wolbachia -Based Dengue Virus Interference in Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)
TL;DR: Larval diet level had no significant effect on DENV-2 infection rates in the presence of Wolbachia infection in mosquitoes that were intrathoracically injected with the virus, indicating that the effectiveness of Wol Bachia on vector competence disruption within Ae.
Effect of Wolbachia on replication of West Nile Virus in mosquito cell line and adult

TL;DR: This research attacked the mode of transmission of Legionnaires' disease by attacking the ‘spatially aggregating’ cells of the immune system through a number of routes, including contact chemoreception, contact tracing, and ‘cell reprograming’.
