Studies on the fitness characteristics of wmel- and walbb-introgressed aedes aegypti (pud) lines in comparison with wmel- and walbb-transinfected aedes aegypti (aus) and wild-type aedes aegypti (pud) lines

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

Recent studies have reported the presence of Wolbachia in Ae. aegypti with a low frequency and density (Teo et_al, 2017; Bennett et_al, 2019; Carvajal et_al, 2019; Kulkarni et_al, 2019), but the evidence is not compelling (Ross et_al, 2020). The most pathogenic Wolbachia strain wMelPop generates large deleterious effects on adult longevity, egg viability, and reproductive potential (McMeniman and O`Neill, 2010; Almeida et_al, 2011; Caragata et_al, 2016). Transinfection of Ae. aegypti with Wolbachia strains, wMelPop, wMel, and wAlbB, has initially been shown to significantly reduce its vector competence, particularly to dengue virus under laboratory . . .
