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.

Efficacy of Wolbachia-infected mosquito deployments for the control of dengue
New England Journal of Medicine, 2021 Background: Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia pipientis (wMel strain) have reduced potential to transmit dengue viruses. Methods: We conducted a cluster randomised trial of deployments of wMel-infected Ae.

Using Wolbachia to control rice planthopper populations: progress and challenges
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Wolbachia have been developed as a tool for protecting humans from mosquito populations and mosquito-borne diseases. The success of using Wolbachia relies on the facts that Wolbachia are maternally transmitted and that Wolbachia-induced cytoplasmic ...

Breakdown of coevolution between symbiotic bacteria Wolbachia and their filarial hosts [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Wolbachia is an alpha-proteobacterial symbiont widely distributed in arthropods. Since the identification of Wolbachia in certain animal-parasitic nematodes (the Onchocercidae or filariae), the relationship between arthropod and nematode Wolbachia has ...

Quantifying the impact of Wolbachia releases on dengue infection in Townsville, Australia
Scientific Reports, 2023 From October 2014 to February 2019, local authorities in Townsville, North Queensland, Australia continually introduced Wolbachia -infected mosquitoes to control seasonal outbreaks of dengue infection.

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].

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 ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance With over 40% of humans at risk from mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika, the development of environmentally friendly mosquito-control tools is critical. The release of reproductively incompatible male

A Wolbachia factor for male killing in lepidopteran insects
Nature Communications, 2022 Bacterial symbionts, such as Wolbachia species, can manipulate the sexual development and reproduction of their insect hosts. For example, Wolbachia infection induces male-specific death in the Asian corn borer Ostrinia furnacalis by targeting the host ...
