Short reads from honey bee (Apis sp.) sequencing projects reflect microbial associate diversity [PDF]

, 2017
High throughput (or ‘next generation’) sequencing has transformed most areas of biological research and is now a standard method that underpins empirical study of organismal biology, and (through comparison of genomes), reveals patterns of evolution. For

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2024.
Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

Identification of Spiroplasma insolitum symbionts in Anopheles gambiae [version 1; referees: 2 approved, 1 not approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2017
Background: Insect symbionts have the potential to block the transmission of vector-borne diseases by their hosts. The advancement of a symbiont-based transmission blocking strategy for malaria requires the identification and study of Anopheles symbionts.

Influence of genetic and environmental factors on the success of endosymbiont transfers in pest aphids

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2024.
We explore factors associated with successful endosymbiont transfers by combining a comprehensive literature review and performing haemolymph microinjections on various aphid species to identify conditions that facilitate successful transfers. Abstract There is increasing interest in exploring how endosymbionts could be useful in pest control ...

The clip cage conundrum: Assessing the interplay of confinement method and aphid genotype in fitness studies

Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 5, Page 1591-1602, October 2024.
Confinement method has an important effect on aphid fitness, with clip cages negatively impacting the parameters. Aphid genotype also modulates the extent of the confinement method's impact on aphid fitness. The results herein presented suggest that the results obtained with (the widely used method of) clip cages should be interpreted with caution ...

Challenging the Wigglesworthia, Sodalis, Wolbachia symbiosis dogma in tsetse flies: Spiroplasma is present in both laboratory and natural populations

Scientific Reports, 2017
Profiling of wild and laboratory tsetse populations using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing allowed us to examine whether the “Wigglesworthia-Sodalis-Wolbachia dogma” operates across species and populations. The most abundant taxa, in wild and laboratory

Disseminated Spiroplasma apis Infection in Patient with Agammaglobulinemia, France

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
We report a disseminated infection caused by Spiroplasma apis, a honeybee pathogen, in a patient in France who had X-linked agammaglobulinemia. Identification was challenging because initial bacterial cultures and direct examination by Gram staining were
