Modeling the indirect effect of Wolbachia on the infection dynamics of horizontally transmitted viruses.
Intracellular bacteria of the genus Wolbachia are widely distributed in arthropods. There is growing empirical evidence that Wolbachia directly interacts with viruses and other parasites inside the arthropod host, sometimes resulting in low or no pathogen replication. Previous theoretical studies sh...
