知识的Wolbachia感染率和推断不同的蚊子类群之间的感染易感性的地理变化有根本性的影响，设计和成功应用的Wolbachia为基础的媒介传播的疾病控制策略。使用沃尔巴克氏体特异性聚合酶链反应检测，我们测试了14种北美蚊子在五个属（伊蚊，按蚊，库利塞特，库蚊，和Ochlerotatus）的沃尔巴克氏体感染。Wolbachia感染仅在Cidex pipiens（L.）物种复合体
Knowledge of biogeographic variation in Wolbachia infection rates and inferred susceptibility to infection among different mosquito taxa has fundamental implications for the design and successful application of Wolbachia-based vector-borne disease control strategies. Using a Wolbachia-specific polymerase chain reaction assay, we tested 14 North American mosquito species in five genera (Aedes, Anopheles, Culiseta, Culex, and Ochlerotatus) for Wolbachia infection. Wolbachia infections were only detected in members of the Cidex pipiens (L.) species complex.
