DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5276
Abstract: Abstract The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in atmosphere is not only a major cause of global warming, but it also adversely affects the ecological diversity of invertebrates. This study was conducted to evaluate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00285-017-1096-7
Abstract: Wolbachia is possibly the most studied reproductive parasite of arthropod species. It appears to be a promising candidate for biocontrol of some mosquito borne diseases. We begin by developing a sex-structured model for a Wolbachia… read more here.

Releasing Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti to prevent the spread of dengue virus: A mathematical study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Infectious Disease Modelling"
DOI: 10.1016/j.idm.2019.12.004
Abstract: Wolbachia is a bacterium that is present in 60% of insects but it is not generally found in Aedes aegypti, the primary vector responsible for the transmission of dengue virus, Zika virus, and other human… read more here.

Substantial rearrangements, single nucleotide frameshift deletion and low diversity in mitogenome of Wolbachia-infected strepsipteran endoparasitoid in comparison to its tephritid hosts

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-04398-y
Abstract: Insect mitogenome organisation is highly conserved, yet, some insects, especially with parasitic life cycles, have rearranged mitogenomes. Furthermore, intraspecific mitochondrial diversity can be reduced by fitness-affecting bacterial endosymbionts like Wolbachia due to their maternal coinheritance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17513758.2022.2037760
Abstract: We investigate a mosquito population suppression model, which includes the release of Wolbachia-infected males causing incomplete cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). The model consists of two sub-equations by considering the density-dependent birth rate of wild mosquitoes. By… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jme/tjaa074
Abstract: Abstract In recent decades, the occurrence and distribution of arboviral diseases transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes has increased. In a new control strategy, populations of mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia are being released to replace existing… read more here.
