Wolbachia bacteria reduce Aedes aegypti capacity to transmit Dengue

The Eliminate Dengue research program is investigating whether Wolbachia, bacteria that occur naturally in up to 60% of all insect species - but not the dengue carrying mosquito Aedes aegypti - can be used as an effective strategy to disrupt dengue transmission between people.

In their research they have demonstrated that they can transfer Wolbachia from insects into Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and in doing this also demonstrated that when Wolbachia is present in the mosquito it reduces their ability to transmit dengue viruses. Wolbachia  blocks dengue virus transmission by mosquitoes and thereby reduces human infection and dengue disease.

The hope is to seed wild mosquito populations where dengue is endemic with Wolbachiathrough a controlled number of releases of Wolbachia infected mosquitoes that will then breed with the wild mosquito population.

In the various research articles we see that our Biogent traps are the scientific reference to capture and monitor adult Aedes aegty mosquitos, vectors of the Dengue virus.
