The impact of artificial selection for < i > Wolbachia < /i > -mediated dengue virus blocking on phage WO

In conclusion, we propose that artificial selection for WMPB trait had corresponding impacts on phage WO densities, and also the transcription of CI-causing genes. Future studies may include a more detailed analysis of the regions theA.aegypti chromosome 1 ’s ability to affect WMPB and otherWolbachia-associated intrinsic factors such as phage WO.
