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 ...

Wolbachia-fertőzés vizsgálata a Maculinea alcon Kárpát-medencei populációiban
, 2015 Kutatásom célja, hogy felmérjem a Kárpát-medencében élő Maculinea alcon populációkban a Wolbachia-fertőzöttség mértékét, és azonosítsam a bennük előforduló törzseket. A Wolbachia-k jelenlétét PCR technika segítségével mutattuk ki, ehhez egy speciális DNS-

Counting rare Wolbachia endosymbionts using digital droplet PCR
Microbiology SpectrumWolbachia is the most widespread animal-associated intracellular microbe, living within the cells of over half of insect species. Since they can suppress pathogen replication and spread rapidly through insect populations, Wolbachia is at the vanguard of ...

Discovery of a novel Wolbachia in Heterodera expands nematode host distribution
Frontiers in MicrobiologyBioinformatics sequence data mining can reveal hidden microbial symbionts that might normally be filtered and removed as contaminants. Data mining can be helpful to detect Wolbachia, a widespread bacterial endosymbiont in insects and filarial nematodes ...

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 ...
