Abstract

In this article, we discuss the possible, underlying molecular and biological basis of dengue case reduction by Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes, their field releases trial, and mathematical modelling of reduction in transmission of DENV attributable to the presence of Wolbachia. This study suggests that Wolbachia-infected DENV control could reduce dengue incidences up to 40.3 to 96% in the field release sites and A laboratory-based trial reported 100% suppression when Wolbachia-infected male mosquitoes were released. Moreover, Mathematical modeling predicted promising results in dengue reduction by Wolbachia. Documented evidence in this study support Wolbachia as a novel vector control approach to limit dengue transmission.
