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

open access: yesWellcome 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.

Endosymbiont-based immunity in Drosophila melanogaster against parasitic nematode infection. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Associations between endosymbiotic bacteria and their hosts represent a complex ecosystem within organisms ranging from humans to protozoa. Drosophila species are known to naturally harbor Wolbachia and Spiroplasma endosymbionts, which play a protective ...

Saprotrophic Arachnopeziza Species as New Resources to Study the Obligate Biotrophic Lifestyle of Powdery Mildew Fungi

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Obligate biotrophic plant pathogens like the powdery mildew fungi commit to a closely dependent relationship with their plant hosts and have lost the ability to grow and reproduce independently. Thus, at present, these organisms are not amenable to in vitro cultivation, which is a prerequisite for effective genetic modification and functional ...

Sustainable control of Dalbulus maidis: A field study with entomopathogenic fungi

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 11, Page 1156-1164, November 2025.
Dalbulus maidis, a plant pathogen vector, poses a serious threat to maize production and food security. We investigated the potential synergistic effects between formulations based on entomopathogenic fungi and corn hybrids with varying resistance to maize stunt complex and Maize rayado fino virus. The combined management of M. anisopliae + B. bassiana

Comparison of the incidence of sibling cannibalism between male-killing Spiroplasma infected and uninfected clutches of a predatory ladybird beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
The incidence of sibling cannibalism in clutches of Harmonia axyridis infected by the male-killing Spiroplasma was compared with that in uninfected clutches, and the way in which fitness compensation was realized by sibling cannibalism was investigated ...

Invasive Spiders and Their Microbiomes: Patterns of Microbial Variation in Native and Invasive Species in Hawai'i

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We investigated how gut microbiota and endosymbionts influence the success of native and invasive spiders in Hawaiian and mainland environments. Gut microbial composition was shaped more by local environmental conditions than invasion status, whereas invasive species generally harbored fewer endosymbionts, with abundance varying by site. These findings
