Uncovering Wolbachia diversity upon artificial host transfer.

PLoS ONE, 2013
The common endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria influence arthropod hosts in multiple ways. They are mostly recognized for their manipulations of host reproduction, yet, more recent studies demonstrate that Wolbachia also impact host behavior, metabolic ...

A comparative study on the functional response of Wolbachia-infected and uninfected forms of the parasitoid wasp Trichogramma brassicae

, 2010
Trichogramma species (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) are haplo-diploid egg parasitoids that are frequently used as biological control agents against lepidopteran pests.

Genome‐Wide Association Study Reveals Insect Genetics and Microbial Symbiont Effects on Susceptibility of Diaphorina citri to the Citrus Greening Pathogen, Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 29, 22 May 2026.
This study investigates the genetic and microbial factors influencing the susceptibility of Diaphorina citri to the citrus greening pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), employing a microbiome Genome Wide Association Study. The research identifies a key gene encoding an MFS‐type transporter contributing to CLas infectivity and abundance in

Loss of cytoplasmic incompatibility in Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti under field conditions

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
Wolbachia bacteria are now being introduced into Aedes aegypti mosquito populations for dengue control. When Wolbachia infections are at a high frequency, they influence the local transmission of dengue by direct virus blocking as well as deleterious ...

A PCR–RFLP Assay for Identifying the Cryptic Australian Endemic Plutella australiana From Invasive Plutella xylostella

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Plutella xylostella, diamondback moth, is a major invasive worldwide pest. In Australia, a local Plutella known as P. australiana is almost morphologically indistinguishable from P. xylostella. Therefore, we developed a PCR–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) assay targeting the mitochondrial COI gene to differentiate the two ...

A Review: Wolbachia-Based Population Replacement for Mosquito Control Shares Common Points with Genetically Modified Control Approaches

Pathogens, 2020
The growing expansion of mosquito vectors has made mosquito-borne arboviral diseases a global threat to public health, and the lack of licensed vaccines and treatments highlight the urgent need for efficient mosquito vector control.

Origins of asexuality in Bryobia mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) [PDF]

, 2008
Background Obligate asexual reproduction is rare in the animal kingdom. Generally, asexuals are considered evolutionary dead ends that are unable to radiate. The phytophagous mite genus Bryobia contains a large number of asexual species.

Impact of Wolbachia on infection with chikungunya and yellow fever viruses in the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti

, 2012
Incidence of disease due to dengue (DENV), chikungunya (CHIKV) and yellow fever (YFV) viruses is increasing in many parts of the world. The viruses are primarily transmitted by Aedes aegypti, a highly domesticated mosquito species that is notoriously ...

Matching the genetics of released and local Aedes aegypti populations is critical to assure Wolbachia invasion

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
Background Traditional vector control approaches such as source reduction and insecticide spraying have limited effect on reducing Aedes aegypti population.

Wolbachia-mediated blocking of dengue virus in mosquito cells is due in part to the action of the RNAi pathway

, 2018
The first dataset examines the effect of Wolbachia infection on genes representing the major innate immune pathways in Aedes aegypti cells. The second data set  reports the effects of siRNA designed to target these genes on their expression and on dengue
