Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wolbachia is the most frequent bacterial endosymbiont of arthropods and nematodes. Although it is mostly vertically transmitted, from parent to offspring through the egg cytoplasm, horizontal transfer of Wolbachia is thought to be common over evolutionary timescales.

Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background Wolbachia are intracellular bacterial endosymbionts found in most insect lineages. In mosquitoes, the influence of these endosymbionts on host reproduction and arboviral transmission has spurred numerous studies aimed at using Wolbachia ...

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mitonuclear discordance—evolutionary discrepancies between mitochondrial and nuclear DNA phylogenies—can arise from various factors, including introgression, incomplete lineage sorting, recent or ancient demographic fluctuations, sex‐biased dispersal asymmetries, among others.

Genomic analysis of Plebejus Kluk (Lycaenidae: Polyommatinae) clarifies taxonomy within Europe
Systematic Entomology, EarlyView.The first genomic analysis for the genus Plebejus in Europe is presented, based on ddRAD sequencing data comprising all European Plebejus plus some Asian and North American taxa. Plebejus idas is recovered as paraphyletic, Plebejus corsicus as a subspecies of Plebejus argus and Plebejus villai as a population of Plebejus bellieri, totalling 4 species ...

A Wolbachia Deubiquitylating Enzyme Induces Cytoplasmic Incompatibility
Nature Microbiology, 2017 Wolbachia are obligate intracellular bacteria1 that infect arthropods, including approximately two-thirds of insect species2. Wolbachia manipulate insect reproduction by enhancing their inheritance through the female germline.

Systematic Entomology, EarlyView.Extensive radiation of moss‐inhabiting flea beetles in Taiwan and Japan: The Ivalia uenoi complex displays high species diversity closely related to Japanese species. Complex biogeography revealed by phylogenomics: ddRAD data uncovered a history shaped by Miocene vicariance and Pliocene dispersal from Taiwan across the Taiwan‐Ryukyu archipelago ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997 Symbiotic associations between microorganisms and higher eukaryotes are extremely common, and they range from mutualistic (beneficial) to commensal (neutral) and parasitic (harmful). Vertical vs. horizontal transmission mode is believed to play an important role in determining whether parasitic or mutualistic interactions evolve (1–5).

Wolbachia in Neotropical terrestrial isopods [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2015 Despite Wolbachia being widespread among terrestrial isopods, studies on this symbiotic relationship are still incipient in the Neotropical region. The aims of the present study were to investigate the presence and prevalence of Wolbachia in natural populations of terrestrial isopod species in South America, and to analyze the diversity and ...

Vertical Transmission of Wolbachia Is Associated With Host Vitellogenin in Laodelphax striatellus
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Wolbachia in host germ lines are essential for their vertical transmission to the next generation. It is unclear how the regulation of host oocyte development influences Wolbachia location and the mechanistic basis of transmission.

The Wolbachia strain wAu provides highly efficient virus transmission blocking in Aedes aegypti
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Introduced transinfections of the inherited bacteria Wolbachia can inhibit transmission of viruses by Aedes mosquitoes, and in Ae. aegypti are now being deployed for dengue control in a number of countries.
