Abstract:Background: Wolbachia is an intracellular bacterial endosymbiont found in most insect lineages. In mosquitoes, the endosymbiont’s influence on host reproduction and arboviral transmission has spurred numerous studies aimed at using Wolbachia-infection as a vector control technique. However, there are several knowledge gaps in the literature and little is known about natural Wolbachia infection across species, transmission modes as well as the associations between various Wolbachia lineages and their hosts.
