Ovitraps Provide a Reliable Estimate of <i>Wolbachia</i> Frequency during <i>w</i>MelBr Strain Deployment in a Geographically Isolated <i>Aedes aegypti</i> Population
Deployment of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes carrying the endosymbiont bacterium <i>Wolbachia</i> has been identified as a promising strategy to reduce dengue, chikungunya, and Zika transmission. We investigated whether sampling larvae from ovitraps can provide reliable estimates on <i>W...
