Wolbachia-based strategies for control of agricultural pests.
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2023Wolbachia-based incompatible insect technique (IIT) and pathogen blocking technique (PBT) have been shown to be effective at protecting humans from mosquito-borne diseases in the past decades.

Annual Review of Entomology, 2003 ▪ Abstract Wolbachia are a common and widespread group of bacteria found in reproductive tissues of arthropods. These bacteria are transmitted through the cytoplasm of eggs and have evolved various mechanisms for manipulating reproduction of their hosts, including induction of reproductive incompatibility, pathenogenesis, and feminization.

Wolbachia as translational science: controlling mosquito-borne pathogens.
Trends in Parasitology, 2021In this review we examine how exploiting the Wolbachia-mosquito relationship has become an increasingly popular strategy for controlling arbovirus transmission.

Wolbachia are highly extended bacterial endosymbionts that infect arthropods and filarial nematodes and produce contrasting phenotypes on their hosts. Wolbachia taxonomy has been understudied. Currently, Wolbachia strains are classified into phylogenetic supergroups.

Wolbachia Induces Density-Dependent Inhibition to Dengue Virus in Mosquito Cells [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012 Wolbachia is a maternal transmitted endosymbiotic bacterium that is estimated to infect up to 65% of insect species. The ability of Wolbachia to both induce viral interference and spread into mosquito vector population makes it possible to develop ...

Wolbachia are endosymbionts of arthropods and filarial nematodes. Arthropods infected with these endobacteria display altered reproductive phenotypes, including cytoplasmic incompatibility and sex-ratio distortion. In nematodes, the endobacteria are essential for embryogenesis and worm survival.

Wolbachia pipientis in Australian Spiders
Current Microbiology, 2004Wolbachia pipientis is an endosymbiotic bacterium common to arthropods and filarial nematodes. This study presents the first survey and characterization of Wolbachia pipientis that infect spiders. All spiders were collected from Queensland, Australia during 2002-2003 and screened for Wolbachia infection using PCR approaches.

The Wolbachia Genome Consortium
Microbial & Comparative Genomics, 1999A meeting was held on February 27, 1999, in Beverly, Massachusetts, sponsored by New England Biolabs, Inc., to establish an international consortium to investigate the genome structure of Wolbachia. The purpose of the Wolbachia Genome Consortium is to provide an organizational structure for scientific interactions and collaborations and for the ...

Malaria remains a major public health concern, and traditional vector control methods face growing challenges, underscoring the need for novel strategies. The success of Wolbachia-based dengue control, together with the establishment of Plasmodium-blocking Wolbachia transinfections in Anopheles, highlights the potential of a new tool for malaria ...
