Molecular Phylogeny and Strain Genotyping of the Bacterial Endosymbiont Wolbachia Associated With Tuta absoluta Populations

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 5, Page 387-397, May 2026.
This study was designed to understand the association between reproductive endosymbiotic bacteria and wild and laboratory‐reared Tuta absoluta populations. The majority of T. absoluta populations showed Wolbachia presence at varying levels of infection, whereas Arsenophonus, Cardinium, and Spiroplasma were not detected. Wolbachia‐positive T.

Vertical Transmission of Wolbachia Is Associated With Host Vitellogenin in Laodelphax striatellus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Wolbachia in host germ lines are essential for their vertical transmission to the next generation. It is unclear how the regulation of host oocyte development influences Wolbachia location and the mechanistic basis of transmission.

Wolbachia and arbovirus inhibition in mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2013
Wolbachia is a maternally inherited intracellular bacteria that can manipulate the reproduction of their insect hosts, and cytoplasmic incompatibility allows them to spread through mosquito populations.

Breaking Down Barriers: CorA Effectively Targets Staphylococcal Biofilms in Vitro and in Vivo

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.
Corallopyronin A (CorA), a natural alpha‐pyrone antibiotic, penetrates Staphylococcus aureus biofilms and inhibits RNA polymerase. This work demonstrates CorA's superior efficacy compared to rifampicin and dalbavancin in reducing viable loads in biofilms both in vitro and in vivo. Graphic created in https://BioRender.com.

Detection and quantification of natural Wolbachia in Aedes aegypti in Metropolitan Manila, Philippines using locally designed primers

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
BackgroundThe Philippines bears health and economic burden caused by high dengue cases annually. Presently, the Philippines still lack an effective and sustainable vector management. The use of Wolbachia, a maternally transmitted bacterium, that mitigate

Wolbachia pipientis occurs in Aedes aegypti populations in New Mexico and Florida, USA

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The mosquitoes Aedes aegypti (L.) and Ae. albopictus Skuse are the major vectors of dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and chikungunya viruses worldwide. Wolbachia, an endosymbiotic bacterium present in many insects, is being utilized in novel vector control ...

Infection with a Virulent Strain of Wolbachia Disrupts Genome Wide-Patterns of Cytosine Methylation in the Mosquito Aedes aegypti [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND Cytosine methylation is one of several reversible epigenetic modifications of DNA that allow a greater flexibility in the relationship between genotype and phenotype.

Wolbachia Prophage DNA Adenine Methyltransferase Genes in Different Drosophila-Wolbachia Associations

PLoS ONE, 2011
Wolbachia is an obligatory intracellular bacterium which often manipulates the reproduction of its insect and isopod hosts. In contrast, Wolbachia is an essential symbiont in filarial nematodes. Lately, Wolbachia has been implicated in genomic imprinting of host DNA through cytosine methylation.

Tell Me How Much DNA You Have and I'll Tell You What Your Sex Is: Sex Determination by Flow Cytometry of Spiderlings of Allocosa marindia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The manuscript addresses the sex determination of spiderlings of the wolf spider Allocosa marindia using flow cytometry. Spiders are born with a defined sex, but it is not possible to determine their sex phenotypically until the adult or near‐adult stage. Sex identification at early stages of development is of great interest for studies in evolutionary

Geographical Divergence and Environmental Drivers of the Symbiotic Bacterial Community Structure in a Koelreuteria‐Feeding Aphid Species Complex

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study investigates the symbiotic bacteria in the Periphyllus koelreuteriae aphid species complex, revealing an inverse relationship between the dominant symbionts Buchnera and Serratia. The relative abundance of these symbionts is strongly influenced by latitude and minimum winter temperature, suggesting that heat stress drives their ...
