Phylogeny of Wolbachia in filarial nematodes
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1998 Intracellular bacteria have been observed in various species of filarial nematodes (family Onchocercidae). The intracellular bacterium of the canine filaria Dirofilaria immitis has been shown to be closely related to Wolbachia, a rickettsia-like micro-organism that is widespread among arthropods.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologyBackgroundThe Philippines bears health and economic burden caused by high dengue cases annually. Presently, the Philippines still lack an effective and sustainable vector management. The use of Wolbachia, a maternally transmitted bacterium, that mitigate

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.

Barekeng, 2023 The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the main carrier of dengue virus transmission to humans. In this study, a mathematical model for the transmission of the dengue virus is constructed using vaccination and Wolbachia parameters in an attempt to control the ...

Comparative Genomics of a Parthenogenesis-Inducing Wolbachia Symbiont. [PDF]
, 2016 Wolbachia is an intracellular symbiont of invertebrates responsible for inducing a wide variety of phenotypes in its host. These host-Wolbachia relationships span the continuum from reproductive parasitism to obligate mutualism, and provide a unique ...

The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...

Evolutionary history of Wolbachia infections in the fire ant Solenopsis invicta [PDF]
, 2005 BACKGROUND: Wolbachia are endosymbiotic bacteria that commonly infect numerous arthropods. Despite their broad taxonomic distribution, the transmission patterns of these bacteria within and among host species are not well understood.

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Comprehensive genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes reveal 14,637 genes in Listronotus oregonensis, advancing genetic insights into a key agricultural pest. Compared with related species, L. oregonensis exhibits reduced chemoreceptor gene families but expanded detoxification gene clusters, reflecting its narrow host range and adaptability.

Phylogenomics and analysis of shared genes suggest a single transition to mutualism in Wolbachia of nematodes [PDF]
, 2013 Wolbachia, endosymbiotic bacteria of the order Rickettsiales, are widespread in arthropods but also present in nematodes. In arthropods, A and B supergroup Wolbachia are generally associated with distortion of host reproduction.
