Arboviruses constitute the largest known group of viruses and are responsible for various infections that impose significant socioeconomic burdens worldwide, particularly due to their link with insect-borne diseases. The increasing incidence dengue fever in non-endemic regions underscores urgent need innovative strategies combat this public health threat. Wolbachia, a bacterium, presents promising biological control method against mosquito vectors, offering novel approach managing fever. We systematically investigated biomedical databases (PubMed, Web Science, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Embase) using "AND" as Boolean operator keywords such "dengue fever," virus," "risk factors," "Wolbachia," "outbreak." prioritized articles offered insights into risk factors contributing outbreak provided an overview Wolbachia's characteristics functions disease management, considering studies published until December 25, 2024. Field experiments have shown introducing Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes can effectively reduce populations lower transmission rates, signifying its potential practical controlling disease.
