Characterization of the recA gene regions of Spiroplasma citri and Spiroplasma melliferum [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1996
In previous studies (A. Marais, J. M. Bove, and J. Renaudin, J. Bacteriol. 178:862-870, 1996), we have shown that the recA gene of Spiroplasma citri R8A2 was restricted to the first 390 nucleotides of the N-terminal part. PCR amplification and sequencing studies of five additional strains of S.

Dynamics of expenditure on insecticides in the management and control of corn leafhoppers (Dalbulus maidis)

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 7077-7089, October 2025.
The results reveal an increase in insecticide expenditures for controlling corn leafhoppers, highlighting the need for integrated pest management and sustainable agricultural practices to mitigate economic and environmental impacts. Abstract BACKGROUND The corn leafhopper (Dalbulus maidis) has caused significant losses to corn crops, mainly due to the ...

A survey of Wolbachia, Spiroplasma and other bacteria in parthenogenetic and non-parthenogenetic phasmid (Phasmatodea) species

European Journal of Entomology, 2015
The ecological and genetic mechanisms that determine Phasmatodea reproductive biology are poorly understood. The order includes standard sexual species, but also many others that display distinct types of parthenogenesis (tychoparthenogenesis, automixis,

Molecular detection of Sodalis glossinidius, Spiroplasma species and Wolbachia endosymbionts in wild population of tsetse flies collected in Cameroon, Chad and Nigeria

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background Tsetse flies are cyclical vectors of African trypanosomiasis (AT). The flies have established symbiotic associations with different bacteria that influence certain aspects of their physiology.

The Kinky Propulsion of Spiroplasma [PDF]

Cell, 2005
Bacteria have evolved many different means of generating movement. In this issue of Cell, Shaevitz et al. (2005) describe the swimming movement of a helical bacterium called Spiroplasma. They discover that Spiroplasma propels itself by generating two temporally distinct kinks that travel the length of the bacterium. These results point to the existence

Effect of Spiroplasma infection on the mating behavior of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1726-1736, October 2025.
Abstract Tsetse flies are insects of significant public health and zoonotic importance as they are the main vectors of African trypanosomes. To date, an effective vaccine is unavailable and efforts to limit the spread of the disease primarily rely on controlling the tsetse populations.

Spiroplasma infection in colonized Glossina fuscipes fuscipes: impact on mass rearing and the sterile insect technique

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1761-1776, October 2025.
Abstract Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) can vector the parasites (Trypanosoma spp.) that cause the socioeconomically devastating neglected tropical diseases human and animal African trypanosomoses. In addition to this parasite, tsetse can harbor four genera of endosymbiotic bacteria, including Wigglesworthia, Sodalis, Wolbachia, and Spiroplasma, which ...

Understanding maize genotype behavior under stunt complex pressure [PDF]

Ciência e Agrotecnologia
The stunt complex, transmitted by Dalbulus maidis, has become one of the main maize diseases in recent years in Brazil and Latin America. Genetic resistance is one of the best ways to control and prevent plant diseases due to its efficiency, low ...
