We retrospectively built a cohort of individuals who reside in Wolbachia locations vs a comparator control group who do not reside in Wolbachia locations, using a nationally representative database of all individuals whom report for febrile illness and were tested for dengue at the Environmental Health Institute/hospital laboratories/commercial diagnostic laboratories, through general practitioner clinic, polyclinic or public/private hospital from epidemiological week (EW) 1 2019 to EW26 2022. We emulated a constrained randomization protocol used in cRCTs to balance dengue risk between intervention and control arms in the pre-intervention period.

When exposed to ≥12 months of Wolbachia releases, protective efficacies ranged from 49% (13-72%) to 77% (60-94%) across years.
