A29 Wolbachia for dengue control; will dengue viruses evolve resistance?
represents the dominant virus subtype. It does not provide sufficient information to resolve transmission events particularly for rapidly spreading viruses. However, changes in the composition of minor variants between hosts and the pattern of minor variants fixation during outbreaks, could provide additional high-resolution data on who is infecting whom. The same data could also potentially in...
متن کاملScale-up Strategies for Membrane-Based Desalination Processes: A Review
Membrane-based technologies have increasingly been chosen in desalination processes, which is evidenced by the increase of large-scale plants constructed in recent years. Indeed, several appropriate strategies should be considered to minimize problems faced during the construction, such as membrane system designs, area requirement, energy requirement, operation and maintenance, and environmenta...
متن کاملAssessing the epidemiological effect of wolbachia for dengue control.
Dengue viruses cause more human morbidity and mortality than any other arthropod-borne virus. Dengue prevention relies mainly on vector control; however, the failure of traditional methods has promoted the development of novel entomological approaches. Although use of the intracellular bacterium wolbachia to control mosquito populations was proposed 50 years ago, only in the past decade has its...

Wolbachia are a group of obligate intracellular maternally inherited bacteria that have been found in several arthropod groups including spiders, terrestrial crustaceans, and insects, in addition to filarial nematodes. I...
متن کاملWolbachia versus dengue
A novel form of biological control is being applied to the dengue virus. The agent is the maternally transmitted bacterium Wolbachia, naturally absent from the main dengue vector, the mosquito Aedes aegypti. Three Wolbachia-based control strategies have been proposed. One is suppression of mosquito populations by large-scale releases of males incompatible with native females; this intervention ...
