A decade of stability for wMel Wolbachia in natural Aedes aegypti populations

P. A. Ross, K. L. Robinson, Q. Yang, A. G. Callahan, T. L. Schmidt, J. K. Axford, M. P. Coquilleau, K. M. Staunton, M. Townsend, S. A. Ritchie, M.-J. Lau, X. Gu, A. A. Hoffmann

This study shows that the wMel Wolbachia strain remains stable in Aedes aegypti populations over a decade, with no significant phenotypic or genomic changes affecting its disease-blocking capabilities.

Persistent deleterious effects of an unstable deleterious Wolbachia infection

P. A. Ross, J. K. Axford, A. G. Callahan, K. M. Richardson, A. A. Hoffmann

The paper shows that a deleterious Wolbachia infection in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes has maintained its harmful effects over time despite evolutionary pressures.

Measuring the host-seeking ability of Aedes aegypti destined for field release

M.-J. Lau, N. M. Endersby-Harshman, J. K. Axford, S. A. Ritchie, A. A. Hoffmann, P. A. Ross

This study tests the host-seeking ability of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in a semi-field system, finding no negative impact of Wolbachia infection or lab rearing on their ability to locate human hosts.

Effects of alternative blood sources on Wolbachia infected Aedes aegypti females within and across generations

V. Paris, E. Cottingham, P. A. Ross, J. K. Axford, A. A. Hoffmann

This study examines the effects of alternative blood sources on Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti females, finding reduced egg hatch rates and Wolbachia density when using sheep or pig blood.
