Pathogen blocking in < i > Wolbachia < /i > -infected < i > Aedes aegypti < /i > is not affected by Zika and dengue virus co-infection

Conclusions/significanceOur results suggest that pathogen interference inWolbachia-infectedA.aegypti is not adversely affected by ZIKV/DENV co-infection, which suggests thatWolbachia-infectedA.aegypti will likely prove suitable for controlling mosquito-borne diseases in environments with complex patterns of arbovirus transmission.
