The Cellular Lives of Wolbachia

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2023
Wolbachia are successful Gram-negative bacterial endosymbionts, globally infecting a large fraction of arthropod species and filarial nematodes. Efficient vertical transmission, the capacity for horizontal transmission, manipulation of host reproduction and enhancement of host fitness can promote the spread both within and between species.

Species in Wolbachia? Proposal for the designation of ‘Candidatus Wolbachia bourtzisii’, ‘Candidatus Wolbachia onchocercicola’, ‘Candidatus Wolbachia blaxteri’, ‘Candidatus Wolbachia brugii’, ‘Candidatus Wolbachia taylori’, ‘Candidatus Wolbachia collembolicola’ and ‘Candidatus Wolbachia multihospitum’ for the different species within Wolbachia supergroups

Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 2015
Wolbachia are highly extended bacterial endosymbionts that infect arthropods and filarial nematodes and produce contrasting phenotypes on their hosts. Wolbachia taxonomy has been understudied. Currently, Wolbachia strains are classified into phylogenetic supergroups.

A niche for Wolbachia

Trends in Parasitology, 2007
Wolbachia are endosymbionts of arthropods and filarial nematodes. Arthropods infected with these endobacteria display altered reproductive phenotypes, including cytoplasmic incompatibility and sex-ratio distortion. In nematodes, the endobacteria are essential for embryogenesis and worm survival.

Wolbachia pipientis in Australian Spiders

Current Microbiology, 2004
Wolbachia pipientis is an endosymbiotic bacterium common to arthropods and filarial nematodes. This study presents the first survey and characterization of Wolbachia pipientis that infect spiders. All spiders were collected from Queensland, Australia during 2002-2003 and screened for Wolbachia infection using PCR approaches.

The Wolbachia Genome Consortium

Microbial & Comparative Genomics, 1999
A meeting was held on February 27, 1999, in Beverly, Massachusetts, sponsored by New England Biolabs, Inc., to establish an international consortium to investigate the genome structure of Wolbachia .
