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 Symbiotic View Of Life: We Have Never Been Individuals [PDF]

, 2012
The notion of the biological individual is crucial to studies of genetics, immunology, evolution, development, anatomy, and physiology. Each of these biological subdisciplines has a specific conception of individuality, which has historically provided ...

Wolbachia and cytoplasmic imcompatibility in mosquitoes

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2004
Wolbachia are maternally inherited bacteria that induce cytoplasmic incompatibility in mosquitoes, and are able to use these patterns of sterility to spread themselves through populations. For this reason they have been proposed as a gene drive system for mosquito genetic replacement, as well as for the reduction of population size or for modulating ...

The Endosymbiont Consortia of Two Cixiidae Planthoppers Reveal an Ancient Symbiosis With ‘Candidatus Mirabilia Symbiotica’

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Many insects harbour ancient beneficial endosymbionts that produce essential nutrients. Two planthopper species from the Cixiidae family harbour different tripartite endosymbiont consortia, including a previously unknown and likely ancient Gammaproteobacterium in addition to Karelsulcia and Vidania.

The Wolbachia Genome of Brugia malayi: Endosymbiont Evolution within a Human Pathogenic Nematode [PDF]

, 2005
Complete genome DNA sequence and analysis is presented for Wolbachia, the obligate alpha-proteobacterial endosymbiont required for fertility and survival of the human filarial parasitic nematode Brugia malayi. Although, quantitatively, the genome is even

Infection dynamics of endosymbionts that manipulate arthropod reproduction

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1787-1812, October 2025.
ABSTRACT A large proportion of arthropod species are infected with endosymbionts, some of which selfishly alter host reproduction. The currently known forms of parasitic reproductive manipulations are male‐killing, feminization, cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis induction and distortion of sex allocation.

Transgendered in Alaska: Navigating the Changing Legal Landscape for Change in Gender Petitions [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Detecting intracellular bacterial symbionts can be challenging when they persist at very low densities. Wolbachia, a widespread bacterial endosymbiont of invertebrates, is particularly challenging.

Effects of X‐Ray Irradiation on the Biological Parameters, Gut Microbiota, and Gene Expression of Bactrocera dorsalis: Implications for the Sterile Insect Technique

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The sterile insect technique (SIT), traditionally reliant on gamma irradiation, has been an effective strategy for controlling Bactrocera dorsalis. However, strict regulations governing gamma radiation sources and the limited research on the responses of B. dorsalis to X‐ray irradiation have hindered the further development of SIT.

Antiviral protection and the importance of Wolbachia density and: tissue tropism in Drosophila simulans [PDF]

, 2012
Wolbachia, a maternally transmitted endosymbiont of insects, is increasingly being seen as an effective biological control agent that can interfere with transmission of pathogens, including dengue virus.

Parthenogenic hybrid geckos differ from their sexual counterparts in skin microbiomes but not in rates of water loss

Journal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 2, Page 123-133, October 2025.
Parthenogenic hybrid populations often have differing morphological, physiological, and ecological traits from their parent populations, which alongside clonal reproduction contribute to increased fitness. However, slowed rates of co‐evolution can reduce parthenogens' capacity to outpace parasites, resulting in higher rates of parasitism.
