Transcriptional regulation of Culex pipiens mosquitoes by Wolbachia influences cytoplasmic incompatibility [PDF]

, 2013
Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) induced by the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis causes complex patterns of crossing sterility between populations of the Culex pipiens group of mosquitoes. The molecular basis of the phenotype is yet to be defined.

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 stimulates immune gene expression and inhibits Plasmodium development in Anopheles gambia [PDF]

, 2010
The over-replicating wMelPop strain of the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis has recently been shown to be capable of inducing immune upregulation and inhibition of pathogen transmission in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.

The history of Wolbachia and heartworm. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors
Wolbachia is the most widespread endosymbiont in animals, and its discovery in Dirofilaria immitis significantly advanced our understanding of heartworm disease (HWD). In 1995, Sironi and colleagues from the universities of Milan and Pavia, Italy, published a study titled "Molecular evidence for a close relative of the arthropod endosymbiont Wolbachia ...

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

BMC 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

Identification and molecular characterization of Wolbachia strains in natural populations of Aedes albopictus in China

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Aedes albopictus is naturally infected with Wolbachia spp., maternally transmitted bacteria that influence the reproduction of hosts.

Phylogenetic relationships of the Wolbachia of nematodes and arthropods [PDF]

, 2006
Wolbachia are well known as bacterial symbionts of arthropods, where they are reproductive parasites, but have also been described from nematode hosts, where the symbiotic interaction has features of mutualism.

Cytoplasmic incompatibility in the semivoltine longicorn beetle Acalolepta fraudatrix (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) double infected with Wolbachia

PLoS ONE, 2022
Wolbachia are obligatory endosymbiotic α-proteobacteria found in many arthropods. They are maternally inherited, and can induce reproductive alterations in the hosts.

Wolbachia-Host Interactions: Host Mating Patterns Affect Wolbachia Density Dynamics. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Wolbachia are maternally inherited intracellular bacteria that infect a wide range of arthropods and cause an array of effects on host reproduction, fitness and mating behavior.
