#$%^&*AU2009222557B220150611.pdf#####116 ABSTRACT A modified arthropod, an arthropod-modifying bacterium, and use thereof as an agent for control of diseases transmitted by arthropods, particularly mosquitoes, is provided. More specifically, an isolated arthropod-adapted Wolbachia bacterium 5 capable of modifying one or more biological properties of a mosquito host is provided. The modified arthropod may be characterized as having a shortened lifespan, a reduced ability to transmit disease, a reduced susceptibility to a pathogen, a reduced fecundity, and a reduced ability to feed from a host, when compared to a corresponding wild-type arthropod. 10
