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.

A decade of stability for wMel Wolbachia in natural Aedes aegypti populations
bioRxiv, 2021 Mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia endosymbionts are being released in many countries for arbovirus control. The wMel strain of Wolbachia blocks Aedes-borne virus transmission and can spread throughout mosquito populations by inducing cytoplasmic ...

A Review: Aedes-Borne Arboviral Infections, Controls and Wolbachia-Based Strategies
Vaccines, 2021 Arthropod-borne viruses (Arboviruses) continue to generate significant health and economic burdens for people living in endemic regions. Of these viruses, some of the most important (e.g., dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever virus), are ...

Molecular detection of Wolbachia endosymbiont in reptiles and their ectoparasites
Parasitology Research, 2021 Wolbachia, a maternally transmitted Gram-negative endosymbiont of onchocercid nematodes and arthropods, has a role in the biology of their host; thus it has been exploited for the filariasis treatment in humans.

Wolbachia-Virus interactions and arbovirus control through population replacement in mosquitoes
Pathogens and Global Health, 2022 Following transfer into the primary arbovirus vector Aedes aegypti, several strains of the intracellular bacterium Wolbachia have been shown to inhibit the transmission of dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses, important human pathogens that cause ...

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.

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.
