Exploring Gut Microbial Dynamics and Symbiotic Interaction in Blattella germanica Using Rifampicin [PDF]

Biology, 2023
Blattella germanica harbours two cohabiting symbiotic systems: an obligate endosymbiont, Blattabacterium, located inside bacteriocytes and vertically transmitted, which is key in nitrogen metabolism, and abundant and complex gut microbiota acquired ...

New Insights into Cockroach Control: Using Functional Diversity of Blattella germanica Symbionts [PDF]

Insects, 2020
Insects have close symbiotic relationships with several microbes, which extends the limited metabolic networks of most insects. Using symbiotic microorganisms for the biological control of pests and insect-borne diseases has become a promising direction.

Nuclear receptors EcR-A/RXR and HR3 control early embryogenesis in the short-germ hemimetabolous insect Blattella germanica. [PDF]

iScience, 2023
Summary The role of steroid hormone signaling during insect post-embryonic development has been extensively characterized. However, its function during embryonic development is less understood, particularly in short-germ band hemimetabolous insects.

Interkingdom Gut Microbiome and Resistome of the Cockroach Blattella germanica. [PDF]

mSystems, 2021
For the first time, we analyze the interkingdom hindgut microbiome of this species, including bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses. Network analysis reveals putative cooperation between core bacteria that could be key for ecosystem equilibrium. ABSTRACT

Solving the 250-year-old mystery of the origin and global spread of the German cockroach, <i>Blattella germanica</i>. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
The origin of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, is enigmatic, in part because it is ubiquitous worldwide in human-built structures but absent from any natural habitats. The first historical records of this species are from ca. 250 years ago (ya)
