Matrotrophic viviparity constrains microbiome acquisition during gestation in a live‐bearing cockroach, Diploptera punctata

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 18, Page 10601-10614, September 2019., 2019
Invertebrate systems offer unique opportunities to conduct studies on microbiome‐development‐reproduction dynamics since reproductive modes ranging from oviparity to multiple types of viviparity are found in these animals. One such invertebrate is the live‐bearing cockroach, and Diploptera punctata 16S rRNA sequencing was used to characterize the D ...

Building Block and Building Rule: Dual Descriptor Method for Biological Sequence Analysis [PDF]

, 2008
The emergence of “Systems Biology” in recent years highlights the systematic viewpoint of bio-system modeling. Building on such a background, Dual Descriptor Method, a generic methodology for biological sequence analysis is proposed. From a

Heritability of symbiont density reveals distinct regulatory mechanisms in a tripartite symbiosis [PDF]

, 2016
Beneficial eukaryotic–bacterial partnerships are integral to animal and plant evolution. Understanding the density regulation mechanisms behind bacterial symbiosis is essential to elucidating the functional balance between hosts and symbionts.

Horizontally Transferred Genetic Elements in the Tsetse Fly Genome: An Alignment‐Free Clustering Approach Using Batch Learning Self‐Organising Map (BLSOM)

BioMed Research International, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are the primary vectors of trypanosomes, which can cause human and animal African trypanosomiasis in Sub‐Saharan African countries. The objective of this study was to explore the genome of Glossina morsitans morsitans for evidence of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from microorganisms.

Tsetse fly (Glossina pallidipes) midgut responses to Trypanosoma brucei challenge [PDF]

, 2017
Background Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are the prominent vector of African trypanosome parasites (Trypanosoma spp.) in sub-Saharan Africa, and Glossina pallidipes is the most widely distributed species in Kenya.

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 ...

Live imaging of symbiosis: spatiotemporal infection dynamics of a GFP‐labelled Burkholderia symbiont in the bean bug Riptortus pedestris

Molecular Ecology, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1445-1456, March 2014., 2014
Abstract Many insects possess endosymbiotic bacteria inside their body, wherein intimate interactions occur between the partners. While recent technological advancements have deepened our understanding of metabolic and evolutionary features of the symbiont genomes, molecular mechanisms underpinning the intimate interactions remain difficult to approach

Molecular Characterization of Wolbachia and its Phage WO in the Laboratory Populations of Drosophila [PDF]

, 2014
Wolbachia are a group of maternally inherited intracellular rickettsial á-proteobacteria, infecting wide range of arthropods and filarial nematodes. They infect around 66% of arthropods and impose various fitness related effects in their host populations

Initiator tRNA genes template the 3' CCA end at high frequencies in bacteria. [PDF]

, 2016
BackgroundWhile the CCA sequence at the mature 3' end of tRNAs is conserved and critical for translational function, a genetic template for this sequence is not always contained in tRNA genes.

Improvement of colony management in insect mass‐rearing for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1476-1494, October 2025.
Abstract Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) applications against major insect pests and disease vectors rely on the cost‐effective production of high‐quality sterile males. This largely depends on the optimal management of target pest colonies by maximizing the benefits provided by a genetically rich and pathogen‐free mother colony, the presence of ...
