How do Wolbachia modify the Drosophila ovary? New evidences support the “titration-restitution” model for the mechanisms of Wolbachia-induced CI

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.

Identification of Wolbachia new strains from Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the vector of dengue fever in Jeddah Province

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Wolbachia are endosymbiotic bacteria found within many arthropods, including insects. A variety of benefits are provided by these bacteria to human and insect hosts, including protection from viruses and parasites and the ability to kill males.

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 infection dynamics in a natural population of the pear psyllid Cacopsylla pyri (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) across its seasonal generations

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 ...

Genome Evolution of Wolbachia Strain wPip from the Culex pipiens Group [PDF]

, 2008
The obligate intracellular bacterium Wolbachia pipientis strain wPip induces cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), patterns of crossing sterility, in the Culex pipiens group of mosquitoes.

Does Wolbachia infection affect Trichogramma atopovirilia behaviour? [PDF]

, 2010
Unisexual Trichogramma forms have attracted much attention due to their potential advantages as biocontrol agents. Fitness studies have been performed and understanding the cost that Wolbachia may inflict on their hosts will help in deciding if Wolbachia

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).

The wMel Wolbachia strain blocks dengue and invades caged Aedes aegypti populations

, 2011
Dengue fever is the most important mosquito-borne viral disease of humans with more than 50 million cases estimated annually in more than 100 countries. Disturbingly, the geographic range of dengue is currently expanding and the severity of outbreaks is ...
