PLoS ONE, 2017 Previous studies showed that the survival rate of Wolbachia decreases under high temperature in incubators. It is also known that a high density of Wolbachia in the host body reduces the host emergence rate, while low densities fail to change ...

Counting rare Wolbachia endosymbionts using digital droplet PCR
Microbiology SpectrumWolbachia is the most widespread animal-associated intracellular microbe, living within the cells of over half of insect species. Since they can suppress pathogen replication and spread rapidly through insect populations, Wolbachia is at the vanguard of ...

Wolbachia pipientis should not be split into multiple species: A response to Ramírez-Puebla et al., “Species in Wolbachia? Proposal for the designation of ‘Candidatus Wolbachia bourtzisii’, ‘Candidatus Wolbachia onchocercicola’, ‘Candidatus Wolbachia blaxteri’, ‘Candidatus Wolbachia brugii’, ‘Candidatus Wolbachia taylori’, ‘Candidatus Wolbachia collembolicola’ and ‘Candidatus Wolbachia multihospitum’ for the different species within Wolbachia supergroups” [PDF]

Wolbachia and cytoplasmic imcompatibility in mosquitoes
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2004 Wolbachia are maternally inherited bacteria that induce cytoplasmic incompatibility in mosquitoes, and are able to use these patterns of sterility to spread themselves through populations. For this reason they have been proposed as a gene drive system for mosquito genetic replacement, as well as for the reduction of population size or for modulating ...

Optimal control for enhancement of wolbachia frequency among aedes aegypti females
, 2017 In this paper, we propose and thoroughly analyze the ODE model that describes the competition between wild Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes and those carrying Wolbachia bacterial symbiont in the same locality.
