Recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on the application of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes for controlling dengue and other Aedes-borne diseases. Notable recent papers include:

  • Efficacy of Wolbachia-Infected Mosquito Deployments for the Control of Dengue (2021, New England Journal of Medicine)
  • Establishment of wMel Wolbachia in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and reduction of local dengue transmission in Cairns and surrounding locations in northern Queensland, Australia (2020, Gates Open Research)
  • Effectiveness of Wolbachia-infected mosquito deployments in reducing the incidence of dengue and other Aedes-borne diseases in Niterói, Brazil: A quasi-experimental study (2021, PLoS neglected tropical diseases)
  • Reduced dengue incidence following deployments of Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti in Yogyakarta, Indonesia: a quasi-experimental trial using controlled interrupted time series analysis (2020, Gates Open Research)
  • Stable establishment of wMel Wolbachia in Aedes aegypti populations in Yogyakarta, Indonesia (2020, PLoS neglected tropical diseases)

Cameron P. Simmons frequently publishes in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), PLoS neglected tropical diseases, eLife, Scientific Reports, and Parasites & Vectors. Their work often involves collaboration with researchers including Scott L. O'Neill, Katherine L. Anders, Stephanie K. Tanamas, Heather A. Flores, and Riris Andono Ahmad.
