Investigating Wolbachia presence in Anopheles punctulatus group from Papua, Indonesia: Limited evidence of natural infection with molecular markers
Key Points
Limited evidence of natural Wolbachia infection was identified in the Anopheles punctulatus group.
A total of five molecular markers were assessed across various specimens from Papua, Indonesia.
Analysis focused on the Anopheles punctulatus group to explore potential vector interactions.
Findings indicate that Wolbachia's role within this mosquito group may require further investigation.
