Wolbachia pipientis Associated With Tephritid Fruit Fly Pests: From Basic Research to Applications

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Members of the true fruit flies (family Tephritidae) are among the most serious agricultural pests worldwide, whose control and management demands large and costly international efforts. The need for cost-effective and environmentally friendly integrated

Transcriptional regulation of Culex pipiens mosquitoes by Wolbachia influences cytoplasmic incompatibility [PDF]

, 2013
Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) induced by the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis causes complex patterns of crossing sterility between populations of the Culex pipiens group of mosquitoes. The molecular basis of the phenotype is yet to be defined.

Microbiome Innovation in Agriculture: Development of Microbial Based Tools for Insect Pest Management

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020
This review emphasizes the potential and use of microbes in sustainable insect pest management. We first review the diverse insect traits shaped by insect-microbe associations that span nutrition, immunity, ecological interactions with natural enemy ...

Comparison of Irradiation and Wolbachia Based Approaches for Sterile-Male Strategies Targeting Aedes albopictus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The global expansion of Aedes albopictus together with the absence of vaccines for most of the arboviruses transmitted by this mosquito has stimulated the development of sterile-male strategies aiming at controlling disease transmission through the ...

Late-acting dominant lethal genetic systems and mosquito control. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Reduction or elimination of vector populations will tend to reduce or eliminate transmission of vector-borne diseases. One potential method for environmentally-friendly, species-specific population control is the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT)

The MosHouse^® Trap: Evaluation of the Efficiency in Trapping Sterile Aedes aegypti Males in Semi-Field Conditions

Insects, 2022
Arbovirus diseases, such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika, are important public health problems. Controlling the major vector, Aedes aegypti, is the only approach to suppressing these diseases.

Naturally occurring incompatibilities between different Culex pipiens pallens populations as the basis of potential mosquito control measures. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
BACKGROUND: Vector-borne diseases remain a threat to public health, especially in tropical countries. The incompatible insect technique has been explored as a potential control strategy for several important insect vectors. However, this strategy has not
