Abstract
- Wolbachia endosymbionts are symbionts of arthropods and filarial nematodes.
- Wolbachia in filarial nematodes are targets for anti-filariasis initiatives.
- Wolbachia in mosquitoes influence transmission of viruses, such as Dengue.
- Modern molecular biology techniques enhance understanding of Wolbachia symbiosis.
- Understanding Wolbachia biology will aid in control of mosquito-borne human diseases.
