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].

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.

High Incidence of Related Wolbachia across Unrelated Leaf-Mining Diptera

Insects, 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 in mosquitoes from the Central Valley of California, USA

Parasites & 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.

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

PLoS 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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
