Wolbachia pipientis (Hertig, 1936), also referred as Wolbachia, is a bacterium present across insect taxa, certain strains of which have been demonstrated to impact the fitness and capacity transmit viruses in mosquitoes, particularly Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762). Most studies examine these impacts limited sets environmental regimes. Here we seek understand environmentally relevant conditions such larval density, temperature, their interaction on wAlbB-infected A. aegypti. Using factorial...
