“…Facilitation by Wolbachia has also been observed for RNA flavivirus infection in A. aegypti carrying w Mel compared to their Wolbachia ‐free counterparts (Amuzu et al., 2018). In fact, among the studied ISVs, Cell‐Fusing Agent virus ( Flaviviridae ) replication was the only mosquito ISV to be restricted by w MelPop, w Mel and w AlbB in transinfected A. aegypti ‐derived cell lines (Bishop et al., 2020; McLean et al, 2019; Schnettler, Sreenu, Mottram, & McFarlane, 2016; Zhang, Etebari, & Asgari, 2016). Therefore, it is possible that ecological differences between ISVs and arboviruses contribute to the different nature of interactions: (a) their presence in all life stages (while arboviruses are mostly restricted to female adults) (Ajamma et al., 2018; Bolling et al., 2012; Haddow et al., 2013; Kawakami et al., 2016; Saiyasombat et al., 2011; Sang et al., 2003); (b) their prevalence (the first studies conducted on ISVs demonstrated that they were highly prevalent (Altinli, Lequime, et al, 2019; Farfan‐Ale et al., 2009; Goenaga et al., 2014; Parry & Asgari, 2018); and (c) transmission mode (ISVs being probably more frequently vertically transmitted than arboviruses) (Agboli et al., 2019; Lequime & Lambrechts, 2014; Lequime, Paul, & Lambrechts, 2016).…”
