Uncovering Wolbachia diversity upon artificial host transfer.
PLoS ONE, 2013 The common endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria influence arthropod hosts in multiple ways. They are mostly recognized for their manipulations of host reproduction, yet, more recent studies demonstrate that Wolbachia also impact host behavior, metabolic ...

The therapeutic efficacy and macrofilaricidal activity of doxycycline for the treatment of river blindness [PDF]
, 2014 Background. Onchocerca volvulus and lymphatic filariae, causing river blindness and elephantiasis, depend on endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria for growth, development, fertility, and survival.

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Background and Aim Tetracyclines continue to serve as a cost‐effective and essential treatment for common infections, particularly in resource‐limited regions such as lymphatic filariasis (LF)‐hyperendemic communities. The growing use of tetracycline‐based antibiotics by symptomatic filarial lymphedema patients, likely influenced by the ...

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.

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 599-617, April 2026.The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

Chromosome‐scale genome assembly of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 640-664, April 2026.Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is a major fruit fly pest in Argentina, currently controlled through chemical treatments and traps. This study aims to enhance the genomic understanding of this species to support the development of sterile insect technique as well as the use of innovative technologies.

A comparative study on the functional response of Wolbachia-infected and uninfected forms of the parasitoid wasp Trichogramma brassicae [PDF]
, 2010 Trichogramma species (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) are haplo-diploid egg parasitoids that are frequently used as biological control agents against lepidopteran pests.

Host sexual dimorphism and parasite adaptation [PDF]
, 2012 In species with separate sexes, parasite prevalence and disease expression is often different between males and females. This effect has mainly been attributed to sex differences in host traits, such as immune response.

Microbial symbionts : a resource for the management of insect-related problems [PDF]
, 2011 Microorganisms establish with their animal hosts close interactions. They are involved in many aspects of the host life, physiology and evolution, including nutrition, reproduction, immune homeostasis, defence and speciation.
