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 in the Culex pipiens group mosquitoes: introgression and superinfection. [PDF]

, 2009
Wolbachia bacteria in mosquitoes induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), where sperm from Wolbachia-infected males can produce inviable progeny. The wPip strain in the Culex pipiens group of mosquitoes produces a complexity of CI crossing types. Several

Horizontal gene transfer between Wolbachia and the mosquito Aedes aegypti. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: The evolutionary importance of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from Wolbachia endosymbiotic bacteria to their eukaryotic hosts is a topic of considerable interest and debate.

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.

Modelling the spread of Wolbachia in spatially heterogeneous environments [PDF]

, 2012
The endosymbiont Wolbachia infects a large number of insect species and is capable of rapid spread when introduced into a novel host population. The bacteria spread by manipulating their hosts' reproduction, and their dynamics are influenced by the ...

Releasing Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti to prevent the spread of dengue virus: A mathematical study

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.

Diversity and recombination in Wolbachia and Cardinium from Bryobia spider mites [PDF]

, 2012
Background Wolbachia and Cardinium are endosymbiotic bacteria infecting many arthropods and manipulating host reproduction. Although these bacteria are maternally transmitted, incongruencies between phylogenies of host and parasite suggest an additional ...

Differentially expressed profiles in the larval testes of Wolbachia infected and uninfected Drosophila. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Wolbachia are endosymbiotic bacteria that are frequently found in arthropods and nematodes. These maternally inherited bacteria manipulate host reproduction by several mechanisms including cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI).
