Grant Activity:
Dissecting nuclear-mitochondrial interactions in Aedes aegypti and their effects on Wolbachia biocontrol methods
Purpose:
Wolbachia-based biocontrol methods are a promising approach to limit the transmission of mosquito-borne viruses such as dengue. All Wolbachia methods use the same strategy to introduce Wolbachia into wild mosquito populations, which results in diverged nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. We will use lab and field-based assays to determine if divergence between these two genomes impacts the efficacy of Wolbachia releases, and provide a data-driven policy for future Wolbachia-based interventions.
