Complex evolution and biogeographic history of moss‐inhabiting flea beetles from the Taiwan‐Ryukyu Island Arc (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Alticini)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Extensive radiation of moss‐inhabiting flea beetles in Taiwan and Japan: The Ivalia uenoi complex displays high species diversity closely related to Japanese species. Complex biogeography revealed by phylogenomics: ddRAD data uncovered a history shaped by Miocene vicariance and Pliocene dispersal from Taiwan across the Taiwan‐Ryukyu archipelago ...

Drug Design and Delivery for Intracellular Bacteria: Emerging Paradigms

Drug Development Research, Volume 86, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Intracellular bacteria exploit host cell niches, such as lysosomes, phagosomes, cytosol, entire cells, and even erythrocytes, to evade immune clearance and escape conventional antibiotics. These environments pose numerous therapeutic challenges, including crossing host cell membranes, navigating endosomal trafficking, tolerating acidic and ...

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 ...

Supergroup C Wolbachia, mutualist symbionts of filarial nematodes, have a distinct genome structure [PDF]

Open Biology, 2015
Wolbachia pipientis is possibly the most widespread endosymbiont of arthropods and nematodes. While all Wolbachia strains have historically been defined as a single species, 16 monophyletic clusters of diversity (called supergroups) have been described ...

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.

A Deep Metagenomic Snapshot as a Proof‐of‐Concept for Resource Generation: Simultaneous Assembly of Host, Food, and Microbiome Genomes From Stingless Bee Larval Food

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study serves as a proof‐of‐concept, demonstrating that deep shotgun sequencing of a single complex sample—stingless bee larval food—can simultaneously generate multiple genomic resources. From this dataset, we assembled three genomes (a near‐complete bacterium, a draft host mitochondrion, and a fragmented plant chloroplast) with varying ...

Symbiosis As The Way Of Eukaryotic Life: The Dependent Co-Origination Of The Body [PDF]

, 2014
Molecular analyses of symbiotic relationships are challenging our biological definitions of individuality and supplanting them with a new notion of normal part whole relationships. This new notion is that of a \u27holobiont\u27, a consortium of organisms

Comparative Genomics of the Endosymbiont Cardinium Causing Reproductive Manipulation in Encarsia Parasitoid Wasps

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
We assembled four Cardinium hertigii draft genomes: cEina3 causes cytoplasmic incompatibility, cEhis1 induces parthenogenesis, cEper2 is associated with parthenogenesis, and cEina2 infects asymptomatically. All four strains are closely related and hosted by Encarsia parasitoid wasps, but key differences exist, including their metabolic potential and ...

Omics Analysis of Lignin Degradation by the Gut Microbiomes of Wood‐Eating Hypomeces squamosus Fabricius

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
(1) The dominant lignin‐degrading genus taxon was Pantoea. (2) The key genes MHS‐HN_11398_2 (protocatechuate 2,3‐dioxygenase) and MHS‐HN_4821_1 (muconolactone d‐isomerase) were identified. (3) Three degrading pathways, ortho‐cleavage and meta‐cleavage of catechol, and ring‐opening of protocatechuate, were found. ABSTRACT Microbial degradation of lignin
