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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

High Incidence of Related Wolbachia across Unrelated Leaf-Mining Diptera

open access: yesInsects, 2021
The maternally inherited endosymbiont, Wolbachia pipientis, plays an important role in the ecology and evolution of many of its hosts by affecting host reproduction and fitness.

Wolbachia-mediated antibacterial protection and immune gene regulation in Drosophila. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
The outcome of microbial infection of insects is dependent not only on interactions between the host and pathogen, but also on the interactions between microbes that co-infect the host.

Recombination in Wolbachia [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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 in mosquitoes from the Central Valley of California, USA

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Wolbachia bacteria are widely distributed throughout terrestrial arthropod species. These bacteria can manipulate reproduction and influence the vector competence of their hosts.

Pseudoscorpion Wolbachia symbionts: diversity and evidence for a new supergroup S

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Wolbachia are the most widely spread endosymbiotic bacteria, present in a wide variety of insects and two families of nematodes. As of now, however, relatively little genomic data has been available. The Wolbachia symbiont can be parasitic, as

Distinct epigenomic and transcriptomic modifications associated with Wolbachia-mediated asexuality.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2020
Wolbachia are maternally transmitted intracellular bacteria that induce a range of pathogenic and fitness-altering effects on insect and nematode hosts.

The native Wolbachia endosymbionts of Drosophila melanogaster and Culex quinquefasciatus increase host resistance to West Nile virus infection.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundThe bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis has been shown to increase host resistance to viral infection in native Drosophila hosts and in the normally Wolbachia-free heterologous host Aedes aegypti when infected by Wolbachia from ...
