RESUMEN
ResumenWolbachia es un género de bacterias perteneciente al orden Rickettsiales, que participa en diversas relaciones simbióticas con varios organismos, principalmente artrópodos y nematodos.Debido a su capacidad para inducir ciertos fenotipos reproductivos en sus hospederos, constituye un atractivo candidato para su uso como control biológico de plagas y vectores. Con el fin de proporcionar información sobre esta bacteria y sus posibles aplicaciones de control en la lucha contra el dengue y otras enfermedades transmitidas por vectores, se realizó una revisión utilizando las bases de datos de Pubmed y BINASS. Como metodología se incluyeron artículos en lengua inglesa, referentes a Wolbachia y su uso como control biológico, entre 2001 y 2017, hallados bajo las palabras clave Wolbachia, control biológico, dengue, zika, chikungunya. Se puede resaltar que la aplicación de esta estrategia de control biológico en Costa Rica constituye un reto que involucraría el apoyo de autoridades políticas, trabajando en conjunto con los sectores académico y comunitario.
ABSTRACT
AbstractWolbachia is a genus of bacteria belonging to the order Rickettsiales that participates in diverse symbiotic relationships with several organisms, mainly arthropods and nematodes. Due to its ability to induce certain reproductive phenotypes in its hosts, it is an attractive candidate for its use as a biological agent to control of pests and vectors. In order to provide information on this bacterium and its potential control applications in the fight against dengue and other vector-borne diseases, a review was performed using Pubmed and BINASS databases. Articles in English referring to Wolbachia and its use as biological control between 2001 and 2017 where included in the search; and were found under the key words Wolbachia, biological control, dengue, zika, chikungunya.It can be emphasized that the implementation of this biological control strategy in Costa Rica constitutes a challenge that would involve the support of the political authorities working along with the academic and community sector.
