We’re excited to announce that the first preprint from Afeez’s PhD project is now posted on BioRxiv. In this study, we determined the impact of virus genetic diversity on Wolbachia-based control of dengue. We found substantial heterogeneity in inhibition between Wolbachia strains and dengue virus serotypes, which may have implications for potential dengue virus reemergence and strain selection in areas where Wolbachia is deployed.
