Large scale genome reconstructions illuminate Wolbachia evolution

Nature Communications, 2020
Wolbachia is an iconic example of a successful intracellular bacterium. Despite its importance as a manipulator of invertebrate biology, its evolutionary dynamics have been poorly studied from a genomic viewpoint.

Introduction of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes carrying wAlbB Wolbachia sharply decreases dengue incidence in disease hotspots

iScience
Summary Partial replacement of resident Aedes aegypti mosquitoes with introduced mosquitoes carrying certain strains of inherited Wolbachia symbionts can result in transmission blocking of dengue and other viruses of public health importance.

Wolbachia stimulates immune gene expression and inhibits Plasmodium development in Anopheles gambia [PDF]

, 2010
The over-replicating wMelPop strain of the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis has recently been shown to be capable of inducing immune upregulation and inhibition of pathogen transmission in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.

Controlling Wolbachia Transmission and Invasion Dynamics among Aedes Aegypti Population via Impulsive Control Strategy [PDF]

, 2021
This work is devoted to analyzing an impulsive control synthesis to maintain the self-sustainability of Wolbachia among Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes. The present paper provides a fractional order Wolbachia invasive model.

Genomic evolution of the pathogenic Wolbachia strain, wMelPop [PDF]

, 2013
Most strains of the widespread endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia pipientis are benign or behave as reproductive parasites. The pathogenic strain wMelPop is a striking exception, however: it overreplicates in its insect hosts and causes severe life ...

Whole genome screen reveals a novel relationship between Wolbachia levels and Drosophila host translation.

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
Wolbachia is an intracellular bacterium that infects a remarkable range of insect hosts. Insects such as mosquitos act as vectors for many devastating human viruses such as Dengue, West Nile, and Zika.

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).

Limited dengue virus replication in field-collected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia. [PDF]

, 2014
INTRODUCTION: Dengue is one of the most widespread mosquito-borne diseases in the world. The causative agent, dengue virus (DENV), is primarily transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti, a species that has proved difficult to control using conventional ...

Most of the response elicited against Wolbachia surface protein in filarial nematode infection is due to the infective larval stage [PDF]

, 2004
Immune responses to the intracellular Wolbachia bacteria of filarial nematodes are thought to contribute to the pathologic process of filarial infection.
