Differential gene expression in a tripartite interaction: Drosophila, Spiroplasma and parasitic wasps [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background Several facultative bacterial symbionts of insects protect their hosts against natural enemies. Spiroplasma poulsonii strain sMel (hereafter Spiroplasma), a male-killing heritable symbiont of Drosophila melanogaster, confers protection against

Spiroplasma Isolated From Third-Generation Laboratory Colony Ixodes persulcatus Ticks
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Spiroplasma are vertically-transmitted endosymbionts of ticks and other arthropods. Field-collected Ixodes persulcatus have been reported to harbour Spiroplasma, but nothing is known about their persistence during laboratory colonisation of this tick ...

Spiroplasma species as a rare cause of congenital cataract and uveitis: a case series
BMC Ophthalmology, 2021 Background To date, only four cases of ocular spiroplasma infection have been reported in the entire ophthalmic literature. We add two more cases to raise awareness of this sight-threatening congenital disease that manifests as cataract with ocular ...

Prevalence of Spiroplasma and interaction with wild Glossina tachinoides microbiota. [PDF]
Parasite, 2023 Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are vectors of the tropical neglected diseases sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals. The elimination of these diseases is linked to control of the vector.
