Grant Activity:
Dengue virus resistance to Wolbachia
Purpose:
A promising method of biocontrol utilises the bacterium Wolbachia to inhibit transmission of mosquito-borne viruses such as dengue. However, viruses may evolve resistance to Wolbachia's inhibitory effects. We will use two novel methods to determine the mechanisms by which dengue may overcome Wolbachia, and identify genetic sequences in the virus that might lead to resistance. Our findings will guide current and future field trials for Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes.
