Genomic evolution of the pathogenic Wolbachia strain, wMelPop [PDF]

, 2013
Most strains of the widespread endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia pipientis are benign or behave as reproductive parasites. The pathogenic strain wMelPop is a striking exception, however: it overreplicates in its insect hosts and causes severe life ...

Comparative susceptibility of mosquito populations in North Queensland, Australia to oral infection with dengue virus. [PDF]

, 2014
Dengue is the most prevalent arthropod-borne virus, with at least 40% of the world's population at risk of infection each year. In Australia, dengue is not endemic, but viremic travelers trigger outbreaks involving hundreds of cases.

An elusive endosymbiont: Does Wolbachia occur naturally in Aedes aegypti?

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Wolbachia are maternally inherited endosymbiotic bacteria found within many insect species. Aedes mosquitoes experimentally infected with Wolbachia are being released into the field for Aedes‐borne disease control.

Using bacteria to treat diseases. [PDF]

, 2012
INTRODUCTION: Mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever result in significant morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Vector control is often the most effective strategy to prevent disease transmission and novel methods are ...

Assessment of fitness and vector competence of a New Caledonia wMel Aedes aegypti strain before field-release.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
BackgroundBiological control programs involving Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti are currently deployed in different epidemiological settings. New Caledonia (NC) is an ideal location for the implementation and evaluation of such a strategy as the only ...

EVOLUTION OF WOLBACHIA CYTOPLASMIC INCOMPATIBILITY TYPES [PDF]

Evolution, 2004
The success of obligate endosymbiotic Wolbachia infections in insects is due in part to cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), whereby Wolbachia bacteria manipulate host reproduction to promote their invasion and persistence within insect populations. The observed diversity of CI types raises the question of what the evolutionary pathways are by which a new

Wolbachia Infection and Cytoplasmic Incompatibility in Drosophila Species [PDF]

Genetics, 1996
Abstract Forty-one stocks from 30 Drosophila species were surveyed for Wolbachia infection using PCR technology. D. sechellia and two strains of D. auraria were found to be infected and were tested for the expression of cytoplasmic incompatibility, along with D. ananassae and D.

Limited dengue virus replication in field-collected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia. [PDF]

, 2014
INTRODUCTION: Dengue is one of the most widespread mosquito-borne diseases in the world. The causative agent, dengue virus (DENV), is primarily transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti, a species that has proved difficult to control using conventional ...

Cardinium Localization During Its Parasitoid Wasp Host’s Development Provides Insights Into Cytoplasmic Incompatibility

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Arthropods harbor heritable intracellular symbionts that may manipulate host reproduction to favor symbiont transmission. In cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), the symbiont sabotages the reproduction of infected males such that high levels of offspring ...

Vegetative Incompatibility and Cytoplasmic Infection in Fungi [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1972
SUMMARY: The effect of vegetative (heterokaryon) incompatibility on the transfer of a suppressive cytoplasmically determined condition, vegetative death, from carrier to normal strains of Aspergillus amstelodami has been investigated. Cytoplasmic transfer was reduced to 15% by vegetative incompatibility compared with 100% transfer in compatible ...
