Molecular detection of Wolbachia endosymbiont in reptiles and their ectoparasites [PDF]

Parasitology Research, 2021
Wolbachia, a maternally transmitted Gram-negative endosymbiont of onchocercid nematodes and arthropods, has a role in the biology of their host; thus it has been exploited for the filariasis treatment in humans.

Environmental factors influence the local establishment of Wolbachia in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in two small communities in central Vietnam [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

Gates Open Research, 2022
Background: The wMel strain of Wolbachia has been successfully introduced into Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and subsequently shown to reduce transmission of dengue and other pathogens, under both laboratory and field conditions.

Pseudoscorpion Wolbachia symbionts: diversity and evidence for a new supergroup S

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Wolbachia are the most widely spread endosymbiotic bacteria, present in a wide variety of insects and two families of nematodes. As of now, however, relatively little genomic data has been available. The Wolbachia symbiont can be parasitic, as

Phenotypic Response of Wolbachia pipientis in a Cell-Free Medium [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2020
Wolbachia, an obligate intracellular bacterium estimated to infect millions of arthropod species worldwide, is currently being utilized in novel control strategies to limit the transmission of Dengue and Zika viruses.

Pervasive Effects of Wolbachia on Host Temperature Preference

mBio, 2020
Heritable symbionts can modify a range of ecologically important host traits, including behavior. About half of all insect species are infected with maternally transmitted Wolbachia, a bacterial endosymbiont known to alter host reproduction, nutrient ...

Efficacy of Wolbachia-infected mosquito deployments for the control of dengue

New England Journal of Medicine, 2021
Background: Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia pipientis (wMel strain) have reduced potential to transmit dengue viruses. Methods: We conducted a cluster randomised trial of deployments of wMel-infected Ae.

Using Wolbachia to control rice planthopper populations: progress and challenges

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Wolbachia have been developed as a tool for protecting humans from mosquito populations and mosquito-borne diseases. The success of using Wolbachia relies on the facts that Wolbachia are maternally transmitted and that Wolbachia-induced cytoplasmic ...

Living in the endosymbiotic world of Wolbachia: A centennial review.

Cell Host and Microbe, 2021
The most widespread intracellular bacteria in the animal kingdom are maternally inherited endosymbionts of the genus Wolbachia. Their prevalence in arthropods and nematodes worldwide and stunning arsenal of parasitic and mutualistic adaptations make ...

Phylogenomic analysis of Wolbachia genomes from the Darwin Tree of Life biodiversity genomics project

PLoS Biology, 2023
The Darwin Tree of Life (DToL) project aims to sequence all described terrestrial and aquatic eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland. Reference genome sequences are generated from single individuals for each target species.
