Partial replacement of residentAedes aegyptimosquitoes with introduced mosquitoes carrying certain strains of inheritedWolbachiasymbionts can result in transmission blocking of dengue and other viruses of public health importance.WolbachiastrainwAlbB is an effective transmission blocker and stable at high temperatures, making it particularly suitable for hot tropical climates. Following trial field releases in Malaysia, releases usingwAlbBAe. aegyptihave become operationalized by the Malaysian health authorities. We report here on an average reduction in dengue fever of 62.4% (confidence intervals 50–71%) in 20 releases sites when compared to 76 control sites in high-rise residential areas. Importantly the level of dengue reduction increased withWolbachiafrequency, with 75.8% reduction (61–87%) estimated at 100%Wolbachiafrequency. These findings indicate large impacts ofwAlbBWolbachiainvasions on dengue fever incidence in an operational setting, with incidence expected to further decrease as wider areas are invaded.
