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 ...

A cellular basis for Wolbachia recruitment to the host germline. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2007
Wolbachia are among the most widespread intracellular bacteria, carried by thousands of metazoan species. The success of Wolbachia is due to efficient vertical transmission by the host maternal germline.

MATHEMATICAL MODELS OF DENGUE TRANSMISSION DYNAMICS WITH VACCINATION AND WOLBACHIA PARAMETERS AND SEASONAL ASPECTS

Barekeng, 2023
The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the main carrier of dengue virus transmission to humans. In this study, a mathematical model for the transmission of the dengue virus is constructed using vaccination and Wolbachia parameters in an attempt to control the ...

Ensuring successful introduction of Wolbachia in natural populations of Aedes aegypti by means of feedback control

, 2015
The control of the spread of dengue fever by introduction of the intracellular parasitic bacterium Wolbachia in populations of the vector Aedes aegypti, is presently one of the most promising tools for eliminating dengue, in the absence of an efficient ...

Reduced Fecundity Associated with Wolbachia Infection in a Neotropical Drosophilid Redução da fecundidade associada à infecção por Wolbachia em um Drosofilídeo Neotropical

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Using multiple infected and uninfected Drosophila sturtevanti lines, we investigated (i) the impact of Wolbachia on fecundity and (ii) its effects relative to antibiotic treatment. Based on over 1680 dissected ovaries, fecundity was similar between infected and uninfected flies.

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.

The genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes of the carrot weevil, Listronotus oregonensis, reveal adaptive mechanisms for host specialisation and symbiotic interactions

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Comprehensive genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes reveal 14,637 genes in Listronotus oregonensis, advancing genetic insights into a key agricultural pest. Compared with related species, L. oregonensis exhibits reduced chemoreceptor gene families but expanded detoxification gene clusters, reflecting its narrow host range and adaptability.

Current perspective of new anti-Wolbachial and direct-acting macrofilaricidal drugs as treatment strategies for human filariasis

GMS Infectious Diseases, 2022
Filarial diseases like lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis belong to the Neglected Tropical Diseases and remain a public health problem in endemic countries.

Molecular Detection and Genetic Diversity of Bat‐Associated Bartonella spp. in Bat Ectoparasites Collected From Ratchaburi Province, Thailand

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Bat ectoparasites collected from four insectivorous bat species were identified through mitochondrial gene analysis. This study provides the first evidence of bat‐associated Bartonella species in ectoparasites, including bat flies (Phthiridium sp., Raymondia sp.

Experimental hybridization and reproductive isolation between two sympatric species of tephritid fruit flies in the Anastrepha fraterculus species group [PDF]

, 2017
Among tephritid fruit flies, hybridzation has been found to produce local adaptationand speciation, and in the case of pest species, induce behavioral and ecological alterations that can adversely impact efficient pest management. The fraterculus species
