Optimization approaches to Wolbachia-based biocontrol

This paper proposes two realistic and biologically viable methods for Wolbachia-based biocontrol of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, assuming imperfect maternal transmission of the Wolbachia bacterium, incomplete cytoplasmic incompatibility, and direct loss of ...

Wolbachia Natural Infection of Mosquitoes in French Guiana: Prevalence, Distribution, and Genotyping

Microorganisms
Wolbachia are the most spread bacterial endosymbionts in the world. These bacteria can manipulate host reproduction or block virus transmission in mosquitoes. For this reason, Wolbachia-based strategies for vector control are seriously considered or have

Cross-validation of chemical and genetic disruption approaches to inform host cellular effects on Wolbachia abundance in Drosophila

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionEndosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria are widespread in nature, present in half of all insect species. The success of Wolbachia is supported by a commensal lifestyle.

Wolbachia fertőzések vizsgálata Melitaea (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) fajokban

, 2015
A kutatásunk során kiderült, hogy a két vizsgált Melitaea faj fertőzöttségi rátája jelentősen eltér egymástól. A M. phoebe esetében valószínűleg a fertőzés maternális átadódása áll fent, hiszen a mintánkban az egyedek több mint 90%-a fertőzöttnek ...

Blood meal induced microRNA regulates development and immune associated genes in the Dengue mosquito vector, Aedes aegypti

, 2013
Aedes aegypti is a blood-feeding mosquito that transmits human pathogens such as Dengue virus, Yellow Fever virus and Chikungunya virus. Recently, dramatic changes in the transcriptome of Ae.

What can we infer from symbionts titre in their respective Drosophila host tissues? [PDF]

, 2014
The endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia is considered as a potential biological tool for controlling invasive insect pest populations such as Drosophila suzukii (Dsuz), which has recently invaded European countries and come out as an emerging threat for ...

The endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis induces the expression of host antioxidant proteins in an Aedes albopictus cell line

, 2008
Wolbachia are obligate intracellular bacteria which commonly infect arthropods. They are maternally inherited and capable of altering host development, sex determination, and reproduction.

Variable effects of transient Wolbachia infections on alphaviruses in Aedes aegypti.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Wolbachia pipientis (= Wolbachia) has promise as a tool to suppress virus transmission by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. However, Wolbachia can have variable effects on mosquito-borne viruses.
