New preprint alert!
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…

Our first Wolbachia paper is now published!
Our paper on the implications of successive blood feeding on Wolbachia-mediated dengue virus inhibition in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes is now published in Nature Communications. In this study we found that successive blood feeding results in earlier dengue virus dissemination in Ae. aegypti mosquitoes, but that the inhibitory effects of Wolbachia remain strong. Our work highlights…
