Wolbachia limits pathogen infections through induction of host innate immune responses.
PLoS ONE, 2020 BACKGROUND:Wolbachia has been reported to suppress a variety of pathogen infections in mosquitoes, but the mechanism is undefined. Two possibilities have been proposed.

Wolbachia and recombination [PDF]
Trends in Genetics, 2001 The endocellular bacterium Wolbachia manipulates its hosts’ reproduction in an impressive variety of ways: it can induce male killing, feminization, thelytokous parthenogenesis and cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI; embryonic mortality resulting from crosses between Wolbachia-infected males and uninfected females).

Host‐specific and deterministic microbiome assembly in major coleopteran stored‐grain pests
iMetaOmics, EarlyView.Dual DNA‐ and RNA‐based sequencing profiled the microbiomes of five major coleopteran stored‐grain pests and their wheat flour substrate. The microbiomes differed significantly among hosts and from flour, yet 11 core bacterial and 9 core fungal taxa were shared across hosts. RNA data revealed host‐specific active microbiota.

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Background Wolbachia endosymbionts are a proven target for control of human disease caused by filarial nematodes. However, little is known about the occurrence of Wolbachia in taxa closely related to the superfamily Filarioidea.

Wolbachia Infection Associated with Increased Recombination in Drosophila
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019 Wolbachia is a maternally-transmitted endosymbiotic bacteria that infects a large diversity of arthropod and nematode hosts. Some strains of Wolbachia are parasitic, manipulating host reproduction to benefit themselves, while other strains of Wolbachia ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Veterinary medicines, which reach the soil mostly through the application of contaminated manures, can affect beneficial soil microorganisms, such as nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria, which engage in important symbiotic associations with plants.

Widespread Wolbachia infection in terrestrial isopods and other crustaceans
ZooKeys, 2012 Wolbachia bacteria are obligate intracellular alpha-Proteobacteria of arthropods and nematodes. Although widespread among isopod crustaceans, they have seldom been found in non-isopod crustacean species.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
