Wolbachia versus dengue: Evolutionary forecasts. [PDF]

Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health, 2013
A novel form of biological control is being applied to the dengue virus. The agent is the maternally transmitted bacterium Wolbachia, naturally absent from the main dengue vector, the mosquito Aedes aegypti.

Host and symbiont genetic contributions to fitness in a Trichogramma–Wolbachia symbiosis [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
The fitness effects associated with Wolbachia infection have wide-ranging ecological and evolutionary consequences for host species. How these effects are modulated by the relative influence of host and Wolbachia genomes has been described as a balancing

Recombination in Wolbachia [PDF]

Current Biology, 2001
Wolbachia are widely distributed intracellular bacteria that cause a number of reproductive alterations in their eukaryotic hosts. Such alterations include the induction of parthenogenesis, feminization, cytoplasmic incompatibility, and male killing [1-11].

Wolbachia and recombination [PDF]

Trends in Genetics, 2001
The endocellular bacterium Wolbachia manipulates its hosts’ reproduction in an impressive variety of ways: it can induce male killing, feminization, thelytokous parthenogenesis and cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI; embryonic mortality resulting from crosses between Wolbachia-infected males and uninfected females).

Wolbachia and DNA barcoding insects: patterns, potential and problems [PDF]

, 2012
Wolbachia is a genus of bacterial endosymbionts that impacts the breeding systems of their hosts. Wolbachia can confuse the patterns of mitochondrial variation, including DNA barcodes, because it influences the pathways through which mitochondria are ...

Developing Wolbachia-based disease interventions for an extreme environment

bioRxiv, 2022
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes carrying self-spreading, virus-blocking Wolbachia bacteria are being deployed to suppress dengue transmission. However, there are challenges in applying this technology in extreme environments. We introduced two Wolbachia strains

Wolbachia-Virus interactions and arbovirus control through population replacement in mosquitoes

Pathogens and Global Health, 2022
Following transfer into the primary arbovirus vector Aedes aegypti, several strains of the intracellular bacterium Wolbachia have been shown to inhibit the transmission of dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses, important human pathogens that cause ...

Comparison of Stable and Transient Wolbachia Infection Models in Aedes aegypti to Block Dengue and West Nile Viruses. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Pathogen replication and transmission in Wolbachia infected insects are currently studied using three Wolbachia infection systems: naturally infected Wolbachia hosts, hosts transinfected with Wolbachia (stably maintained and inherited infections) and ...

Posterior concentration of Wolbachia during the early embryogenesis of the host dynamically shapes the tissue tropism of Wolbachia in host Trichogramma wasps

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionThe bacterial endosymbiont, Wolbachia spp. induce thelytokous parthenogenesis in certain parasitoid wasps, such as the egg parasitoid wasps Trichogramma spp.

A Review: Aedes-Borne Arboviral Infections, Controls and Wolbachia-Based Strategies

Vaccines, 2021
Arthropod-borne viruses (Arboviruses) continue to generate significant health and economic burdens for people living in endemic regions. Of these viruses, some of the most important (e.g., dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever virus), are ...
