Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1713-1725, October 2025.Abstract Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) has proven effective to reduce tsetse population density in large infected areas where animal African trypanosomosis (AAT) and human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) elimination was difficult to achieve. However, the decrease in mass production of insectary‐reared tsetse and the limited but incomplete knowledge on ...

Tiny but mighty? Overview of a decade of research on nectar bacteria
New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 1897-1910, March 2025.Summary An emerging focus of research at the intersection of botany, zoology, and microbiology is the study of floral nectar as a microbial habitat, referred to as the nectar microbiome, which can alter plant–pollinator interactions. Studies on these microbial communities have primarily focused on yeasts, and it was only about a decade ago that ...

Insight into the Machinery and Applications for Understanding the Pathogen- Vector Interface [PDF]
, 2012 The availability of genome sequencing data in combination with knowledge of expressed genes via transcriptome and proteome data has greatly advanced our understanding of arthropod vectors of disease.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1541, Issue 1, Page 63-82, November 2024.The explosion of research into the human microbiome has revealed the many ways in which our microbes enhance our health. Could these host‐associated microbes be exploited as novel therapies to treat disease? In this review, the various strategies for using microbes as medicine that have been thus far employed, as well as the potential new treatments of

Four basic symmetry types in the universal 7-cluster structure of 143 complete bacterial genomic sequences [PDF]
, 2004 Coding information is the main source of heterogeneity (non-randomness) in the sequences of bacterial genomes. This information can be naturally modeled by analysing cluster structures in the ``in-phase'' triplet distributions of relatively short genomic

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 253-268, September 2024.Trypanosoma sp. presence modulates or has zero effect on gut microbiota composition. Microbiota presence modulates or has zero effect on Trypanosoma sp. growth. Vector biology of triatomine bugs and tsetse flies influences their gut microbiota composition.

The All-Rounder Sodalis: A New Bacteriome-Associated Endosymbiont of the Lygaeoid Bug Henestaris halophilus (Heteroptera: Henestarinae) and a Critical Examination of Its Evolution [PDF]
, 2017 Hemipteran insects are well-known in their ability to establish symbiotic relationships with bacteria. Among them, heteropteran insects present an array of symbiotic systems, ranging from the most common gut crypt symbiosis to the more restricted ...

Insect–microbe interactions and their influence on organisms and ecosystems
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.Insect‐symbiont interactions can have a variety of impacts on organisms and the ecosystem. These multitrophic interactions can result in differential attraction of beneficial insects or natural enemies. Additinoally, these interactions can influence plant and/or soil health as well as microbiome composition.

What use are male hosts? The dynamics of maternally inherited bacteria showing sexual transmission or male killing [PDF]
, 2009 Closely related pathogens and parasites often have distinctly different strategies for transmission. In some cases, presence of one potential mode of transmission reduces the rate of or forbids another. In these cases, one can ask what the conditions are

Extreme specificity in obligate mutualism—A role for competition?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.The high degree of specificity in obligate mutualisms is driven by competition within obligate mutualist guilds that limits species richness. As mutualistic partners are completely dependent on each other for fitness gains, competition may be particularly potent in these mutualisms.
