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.

Infectious Disease Modelling, 2020 Wolbachia is a bacterium that is present in 60% of insects but it is not generally found in Aedes aegypti, the primary vector responsible for the transmission of dengue virus, Zika virus, and other human diseases caused by RNA viruses. Wolbachia has been

Host and symbiont genetic contributions to fitness in a Trichogramma–Wolbachia symbiosis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The fitness effects associated with Wolbachia infection have wide-ranging ecological and evolutionary consequences for host species. How these effects are modulated by the relative influence of host and Wolbachia genomes has been described as a balancing

Remnants of horizontal transfers of Wolbachia genes in a Wolbachia-free woodwasp
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Abstract Background Wolbachia is a bacterial endosymbiont of many arthropod and nematode species. Due to its capacity to alter host biology, Wolbachia plays an important role in arthropod and nematode ecology and evolution. Sirex noctilio is a woodwasp causing economic loss in pine plantations of the Southern Hemisphere.

An elusive endosymbiont: Does Wolbachia occur naturally in Aedes aegypti?
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Wolbachia are maternally inherited endosymbiotic bacteria found within many insect species. Aedes mosquitoes experimentally infected with Wolbachia are being released into the field for Aedes‐borne disease control.

BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is the most common phenotype induced by endosymbiont Wolbachia and results in embryonic lethality when Wolbachia-modified sperm fertilize eggs without Wolbachia.

The Eagle effect in the Wolbachia-worm symbiosis
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Onchocerciasis (river blindness) and lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis) are two human neglected tropical diseases that cause major disabilities.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Wolbachia is one of the most abundant intracellular symbionts of arthropods and has profound effects on host biology. Wolbachia transmission and host phenotypes often depend on its density within the host, which can be affected by multiple biotic and ...
