A Cellular Basis for Wolbachia Recruitment to the Host Germline [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2007
Wolbachia are among the most widespread intracellular bacteria, carried by thousands of metazoan species. The success of Wolbachia is due to efficient vertical transmission by the host maternal germline.

Variation in Antiviral Protection Mediated by Different Wolbachia Strains in Drosophila simulans [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
Drosophila C virus (DCV) is a natural pathogen of Drosophila and a useful model for studying antiviral defences. The Drosophila host is also commonly infected with the widespread endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia pipientis.

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 ...

Environmental factors influence the local establishment of Wolbachia in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in two small communities in central Vietnam

Gates Open Research, 2021
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.

The wMel Wolbachia strain blocks dengue and invades caged Aedes aegypti populations

Nature, 2011
Dengue fever is the most important mosquito-borne viral disease of humans with more than 50 million cases estimated annually in more than 100 countries. Disturbingly, the geographic range of dengue is currently expanding and the severity of outbreaks is ...

Wolbachia and DNA Barcoding Insects: Patterns, Potential, and Problems

PLoS ONE, 2012
Wolbachia is a genus of bacterial endosymbionts that impacts the breeding systems of their hosts. Wolbachia can confuse the patterns of mitochondrial variation, including DNA barcodes, because it influences the pathways through which mitochondria are ...

An elusive endosymbiont: Does Wolbachia occur naturally in Aedes aegypti?

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Wolbachia are maternally-inherited endosymbiotic bacteria found within many insect species. Aedes mosquitoes experimentally infected with Wolbachia are being released into the field for Aedes-borne disease control.

Wolbachia host shifts: routes, mechanisms, constraints and evolutionary consequences

Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2020
Wolbachia is one of the most abundant endosymbionts on earth, with a wide distribution especially in arthropods. Effective maternal transmission and the induction of various phenotypes in their hosts are two key features of this bacterium.
