Abstract: Over the last three decades, mosquitoes have been the major vector of dengue, malaria, and Zika virus infection. However, there are lack of reliable and effective drugs and vaccines for these infectious diseases. Traditional chemical control faces problems like insecticide resistance and environmental pollution. Thus, a new technique for mosquito control is desperately needed. Wolbachia induces cytoplasmic incompatibility and pathogen resistance in the host, which makes it feasible to achieve population suppression or even regional eradication of mosquito vectors. Through searching for and comprehensively analyzing domestic and international literature, this article reviews the principle of population suppression by Wolbachia and relevant laboratory and field research, so as to have a comprehensive understanding of research progress and problems in blocking transmission of mosquito-borne diseases through population suppression using Wolbachia.

摘要: 在过去的30年间,蚊类已成为传播登革热、疟疾和寨卡病毒病的主要媒介,目前还没有可靠有效的药物和疫苗。传统的化学防治技术正面临着昆虫抗药性和环境污染等问题,亟需发展一种新型的蚊媒控制技术。沃尔巴克氏体(Wolbachia)能够诱导宿主产生胞质不相容性,并引起宿主对病原体的抗性,使得利用沃尔巴克氏体进行种群压制或区域性根除传病蚊媒成为可能。该文通过检索和综合分析国内外文献,从沃尔巴克氏体的种群压制原理、实验室和现场研究等几个方面进行综述,以全面了解利用沃尔巴克氏体通过种群压制阻断蚊媒病传播的研究进展和问题。
