Infection dynamics of different Wolbachia-types within one host population

, 2004
Wolbachia are widespread intracellular symbionts of arthropods which are known to cause several reproductive manipulations in their hosts, the commonest of which being cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), male killing (MK), and the induction of ...

Detection of supergroup B Wolbachia strains and their co-infection with Plasmodium falciparum in wild Anopheles funestus in southeastern Tanzania: implications for malaria control

Parasites & Vectors
Background Evidence of natural infection with Wolbachia and its negative correlation with Plasmodium falciparum among wild malaria vectors has opened new avenues for utilization of Wolbachia in malaria vector control.

Towards a molecular clock of Wolbachia

, 2016
Timing the evolutionary history of Wolbachia is a complex and virtually never tried task. Classical molecular clock techniques have the potential to answer this question, but they are complicated by a general lack of priors needed to calibrate ...

Wolbachia Natural Infection of Mosquitoes in French Guiana: Prevalence, Distribution, and Genotyping

Microorganisms
Wolbachia are the most spread bacterial endosymbionts in the world. These bacteria can manipulate host reproduction or block virus transmission in mosquitoes. For this reason, Wolbachia-based strategies for vector control are seriously considered or have

Cross-validation of chemical and genetic disruption approaches to inform host cellular effects on Wolbachia abundance in Drosophila

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionEndosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria are widespread in nature, present in half of all insect species. The success of Wolbachia is supported by a commensal lifestyle.

Optimization approaches to Wolbachia-based biocontrol

This paper proposes two realistic and biologically viable methods for Wolbachia-based biocontrol of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, assuming imperfect maternal transmission of the Wolbachia bacterium, incomplete cytoplasmic incompatibility, and direct loss of ...

Stochastic spread of Wolbachia.

, 2016
Wolbachia are very common, maternally transmitted endosymbionts of insects. They often spread by a mechanism termed cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) that involves reduced egg hatch when Wolbachia-free ova are fertilized by sperm from Wolbachia-infected ...

Wolbachia and mosquitoes: Exploring transmission modes and coevolutionary dynamics in Shandong Province, China.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Vector-borne diseases leave a large footprint on global health. Notable culprits include West Nile virus (WNV), St. Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV), and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), all transmitted by Culex mosquitoes.

Insights into Wolbachia biology provided through genomic analysis

, 2007
Wolbachia are maternally inherited intracellular bacteria that infect a range of invertebrates, including insects, mites, spiders and nematodes. They influence the biology of their host through a range of different mechanisms, from nutritional mutualism ...
