In recent years, scientists have atemped to curb the spread of dengue fever by infecting ‘Aedes aegypti with the bacterium Wolbachia pipients and then releasing these mosquitoes into the environment, Wolbachia has been proved to prevent dengue viruses from replicating inside mosquitos, Importantly, Wolbachia can be passed down to the mosquitoes’ offipring, making them an efficient approach to disease conto ‘Both dengue viruses and Wolbachia infect a variety of tissues throughout a mosquit’s body and ‘thus trigger an immune stress response. Since mosquitoes infected with dengue vinises or Wolbachia are suffering a stess response, they are supposed tobe less abe to deal with an additonal stesor, such as heat, To investigate the effects of heat on dengue- and Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes, a research team fed by Penn State University placed infected mosquites in sale bottles, and hen immersed the bos into a waterbath heated to 42°C —a temperature extreme that a mosquito right encounter in ‘the wild. The researchers then measured ow Tong it tok forthe mosquitoes to become immobilized sand compared the time to that aken by uninfected mosguloes, The tam Found that mosquitoes infected with the dengue virus became immobilized almost three times faster than uninfected mosquitoes when placed in the hot waterbath Similatly,rosquites infected with Wolbachia became immobilized four times faster than uninfected mosquitoes, The results show ‘that viral and Wolbachia infection can affect a mosquito’ est tolerance, speifcally by reducing mosquito survival during exposure to high temperatures. The notable suggestion is that as fate climate models Point to increasing frequencies of extreme temperature events, short exposures to high temperatures willbe threat to the survival of dengue- and Wolbachia-infected mosquitos, ‘The team concluded that at lower temperatures, the dengue virus may fil to replicate swifily enough ‘to make i through the mosquito body and be transmitted, ths reducing transmission risk. At higher ‘temperatures, while the virus may replicate fase, a corresponding reduction in mosq.ito heat tolerance ‘may act as «counterfree on mosquito survival that could help to reduce transmission and poteilly human disease infection in hoter regions, That sai, humans should stil take heed of environmental sanitation and protect ourselves fom being infected. 39, Which of the flowing best shows the organization of the passage’?
