Resumo
Introdução: A bactéria endossimbiótica Wolbachia tem sido amplamente estudada por seu potencial revolucionário no controle de doenças transmitidas por mosquitos, como dengue, zika e chikungunya. Ela pode infectar diversas espécies de insetos, incluindo o mosquito Aedes aegypti, vetor importante dessas doenças. Uma das características notáveis da Wolbachia é sua capacidade de modular a resposta imunológica de seus hospedeiros e reduzir sua capacidade vetorial, o que pode ter implicações significativas na interação entre os mosquitos e os patógenos que transmitem. A presença de Wolbachia em mosquitos pode induzir respostas imunes que protegem contra diversos patógenos, destacando seu potencial no controle de doenças vetoriais. Metodologia: Este trabalho é uma revisão que busca elucidar os mistérios deste tão curioso simbionte, apresentando suas características e habilidades que podem se tornar ferramentas úteis no biocontrole de vetores e doenças. Resultados e Discussão: A compreensão da interação entre a Wolbachia e seus hospedeiros pode abrir novos caminhos no desenvolvimento de estratégias inovadoras para o controle de doenças transmitidas por vetores, oferecendo esperanças na redução da carga dessas enfermidades que afetam milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo. Conclusão: As características da Wolbachia contribuem para uma prática eficaz de controle biológico capaz de interromper a transmissão de doenças transmitidas por vetores.
