Titer regulation in arthropod-Wolbachia symbioses [PDF]

, 2019
Symbiosis between intracellular bacteria (endosymbionts) and animals are widespread. The alphaproteobacterium Wolbachia pipientis is known to maintain a variety of symbiotic associations, ranging from mutualism to parasitism, with a wide range of ...

The Comparative Effectiveness of Vector Control Approaches for Dengue: A Systematic Review and Multilevel Network Meta‐Analysis

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dengue vector control plays an important role in reducing the burden of dengue infection. Conventional meta‐analysis can only include interventions that can be directly compared. Hence, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of all interventions for dengue vector control directly and indirectly through a multilevel Bayesian ...

Host Development and Environment Influence the Microbiomes of Aquatic Insects and Riparian Spiders

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 11, November 2026.
Aquatic insect larvae had higher microbiome diversity than adult life stages, and there was greater retention of larvae‐derived bacterial taxa in adults of hemi‐ compared to holometabolous insects. Wastewater treatment plant effluents decreased endosymbionts in aquatic insects and increased predicted xenobiotic degradation pathways across larvae ...

Using bacteria to treat diseases.

, 2012
INTRODUCTION: Mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever result in significant morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Vector control is often the most effective strategy to prevent disease transmission and novel methods are ...

BIOLOGY OF WOLBACHIA

Annual Review of Entomology, 1997
▪ Abstract  Wolbachia are a common and widespread group of bacteria found in reproductive tissues of arthropods. These bacteria are transmitted through the cytoplasm of eggs and have evolved various mechanisms for manipulating reproduction of their hosts, including induction of reproductive incompatibility, pathenogenesis, and feminization.

Uncovering the Diversity of Mesostoinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae): A Glimpse Into the Australian Fauna Through a Study of Kangaroo Island

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mesostoinae are a poorly understood braconid subfamily with unresolved morphological challenges and a complex taxonomic history. This study provides insight into the biodiversity of this subfamily on Kangaroo Island (KI), South Australia.

A Systematic Map to Identify Knowledge Gaps on a Vector of Citrus Greening Diseases: The African Citrus Triozid, Trioza erytreae (Del Guercio, 1918) (Hemiptera: Triozidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 9, Page 1218-1232, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, citrus production areas are threatened by greening diseases, also known as Huánglóngbíng (HLB), associated with phloem‐limited gram‐negative species of the genus Candidatus Liberibacter. Those pathogens are transmitted by either the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), or the African citrus ...

Symbiont‐Derived Key Innovations Across the Diversity and Diets of Herbivorous Insects

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 21, November 2026.
ABSTRACT With prodigious biomass and diversity, herbivorous insects are among the world's most successful animals. It is widely believed, however, that some plant‐based diets do not meet the needs of insect metabolism. Microbial symbionts may balance such deficits through diverse biochemistry.

Screening of Natural Wolbachia Infection in Aedes Caspius and Culex Pipiens as Potential Vectors of Arboviral Diseases in Shiraz, South of Iran [PDF]

Journal of Health Sciences and Surveillance System
Background: Mosquitoes transmit many diseases to humans, including malaria, dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika. Controlling mosquitoes with endosymbiont bacterium Wolbachia is a new approach in this field.

Genetic Novelty and Short‐Term Evolutionary Dynamics in Drosophila yakuba mayottensis

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 21, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how genetic novelty arises and contributes to population divergence is central to evolutionary biology. On short evolutionary timescales, the relative roles of new mutations and standing variation remain underexplored among structural variation. Here, we compare the contributions of chromosomal rearrangements, tandem duplications
