The successful establishment of the wMel strain of Wolbachia for the control of arbovirus transmission by Aedes aegypti has been proposed and is being implemented in a number of countries. Here we describe the successful establishment of the wMel strain of Wolbachia in four sites in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. We demonstrate that Wolbachia can be successfully introgressed after transient releases of wMel-infected eggs or adult mosquitoes. We demonstrate that the approach is acceptable to communities and that Wolbachia maintains itself in the mosquito population once deployed. Finally, our data show that spreading rates of Wolbachia in the Indonesian setting are slow which may reflect more limited dispersal of Aedes aegypti than seen in other sites such as Cairns, Australia.
已提出并正在一些国家实施用携带 wMel 沃尔巴克氏体的埃及伊蚊控制虫媒病毒传播的方案。本研究在印度尼西亚日惹的 4 个地点成功建立了携带 wMel 沃尔巴克氏体的埃及伊蚊种群。结果表明，经短暂释放携带 wMel 沃尔巴克氏体的蚊卵或成蚊后，沃尔巴克氏体可成功渗入蚊群。该方法被社区接受，并且一旦释放，沃尔巴克氏体在蚊群中得以维持。最后，我们的数据表明，在印度尼西亚建立沃尔巴克氏体的速度较慢，这可能反映了埃及伊蚊的扩散能力比澳大利亚凯恩斯等其他地区的蚊种更有限。
