Co-Occurrence of Viruses, Plant Pathogens, and Symbionts in an Underexplored Hemipteran Clade
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Interactions between insect symbionts and plant pathogens are dynamic and complex, sometimes involving direct antagonism or synergy and sometimes involving ecological and evolutionary leaps, as insect symbionts transmit through plant tissues or plant ...

Hydrothermal activity lowers trophic diversity in Antarctic sedimented hydrothermal vents [PDF]
, 2016 Sedimented hydrothermal vents are those in which hydrothermal fluid vents through sediment and are among the least studied deep-sea ecosystems. We present a combination of microbial and biochemical data to assess trophodynamics between and within ...

Holobiont Diversity in a Reef-Building Coral over Its Entire Depth Range in the Mesophotic Zone
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Mesophotic reef-building coral communities (~30–120 m depth) remain largely unexplored, despite representing roughly three-quarters of the overall depth range at which tropical coral reef ecosystems occur.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Wolbachia is a widespread endosymbiont of insects and filarial nematodes that profoundly influences host biology. Wolbachia has also been reported in rhizosphere hosts, where its diversity and function remain poorly characterized.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Endosymbioses between animals and chemoautotrophic bacteria are ubiquitous at hydrothermal vents. These environments are distinguished by high physico-chemical variability, yet we know little about how these symbioses respond to environmental ...

Comparative genome analysis of Wolbachia strain wAu [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Wolbachia intracellular bacteria can manipulate the reproduction of their arthropod hosts, including inducing sterility between populations known as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). Certain strains have been identified that are unable to

Mechanisms Underlying the Transmission of Insect Pathogens
Insects, 2019 In this special issue the focus is on the factors and (molecular) mechanisms that determine the transmission efficiency of a variety of insect pathogens in a number of insect hosts.

A Potential Role for the Interaction of Wolbachia Surface Proteins with the Brugia malayi Glycolytic Enzymes and Cytoskeleton in Maintenance of Endosymbiosis [PDF]
, 2013 The human filarial parasite Brugia malayi harbors an endosymbiotic bacterium of the genus Wolbachia. The Wolbachia represent an attractive target for the control of filarial induced disease as elimination of the bacteria affects molting, reproduction and

An insect-endosymbiont conundrum [PDF]
Heredity, 2009 Research over the last 20 years has shown that a large fraction of insect species has intimate associations with symbiotic bacteria that often have major effects on their biology. Some symbionts are mutualists increasing their host's fitness, whereas in other cases the host obtains no benefit or even suffers from carrying the micro-organism.

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Free-living bacteria have evolved multiple times to become host-restricted endosymbionts. The transition from a free-living to a host-restricted lifestyle comes with a number of different genomic changes, including a massive loss of genes.
