Localized Control of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in Miami, FL, via Inundative Releases of Wolbachia-Infected Male Mosquitoes

Journal of medical entomology, 2019
As part of the response to autochthonous Zika transmission in the United States, the City of South Miami implemented a 6-mo period in which Wolbachia-infected WB1 Aedes aegypti (L.) males were released into an ∼170-acre area.

Molecular evolution and functional characterization of Drosophila insulin-like peptides [PDF]

, 2010
Multicellular animals match costly activities, such as growth and reproduction, to the environment through nutrient-sensing pathways. The insulin/IGF signaling (IIS) pathway plays key roles in growth, metabolism, stress resistance, reproduction, and ...

Widespread presence of Wolbachia in an Alpine population of the viviparous leaf beetle Oreina cacaliae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) [PDF]

, 2014
Oreina cacaliae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is a rare example of viviparous insect, able to feed on toxic plants and sequester toxic compounds. Here we present the results of a study on the microbiota associated with O.

Screening of Natural Wolbachia Infection in Aedes Caspius and Culex Pipiens as Potential Vectors of Arboviral Diseases in Shiraz, South of Iran [PDF]

Journal of Health Sciences and Surveillance System
Background: Mosquitoes transmit many diseases to humans, including malaria, dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika. Controlling mosquitoes with endosymbiont bacterium Wolbachia is a new approach in this field.

The endosymbiont Wolbachia increases insulin/IGF-like signalling in Drosophila

, 2009
Insulin/IGF-like signalling (IIS) is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that has diverse functions in multi-cellular organisms. Mutations that reduce IIS can have pleiotropic effects on growth, development, metabolic homeostasis, fecundity, stress ...

Inhibition of Zika virus by Wolbachia in Aedes aegypti

, 2016
Through association with cases of microcephaly in 2015, Zika virus (ZIKV) has transitioned from a relatively unknown mosquito-transmitted pathogen to a global health emergency, emphasizing the need to improve existing mosquito control programs to prevent

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.
