Wolbachia is an intracellular endosymbiont infecting most arthropod and some filarial
nematode species that is vertically transmitted through the maternal lineage. Due to this …

Highlights•Symbiotic microbes can limit or expand their insect hosts' viable temperature
ranges.•Symbiont-assisted cuticle biosynthesis can improve desiccation resistance.•In some …

Symbiosis between intracellular bacteria (endosymbionts) and animals are widespread. The
alphaproteobacterium Wolbachia pipientis is known to maintain a variety of symbiotic …

As one of the most successful intracellular symbiotic bacteria, Wolbachia can infect many
arthropods and nematodes. Wolbachia infection usually affects the reproduction of their …

Environmental variation can have profound and direct effects on fitness, fecundity, and host–
symbiont interactions. Replication rates of microbes within arthropod hosts, for example, are …

Wolbachia bacteria are common endosymbionts of many arthropods found in gonads and
various somatic tissues. They manipulate host reproduction to enhance their transmission …

The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of many disease-causing viruses,
including dengue (DENV), Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever. As consequences of climate …

Wolbachia are maternally transmitted intracellular bacteria that are not only restricted to the
reproductive organs but also found in various somatic tissues of their native hosts. The …

Arthropod symbionts present tissue tropism that corresponds to the nature of the association
and the mode of transmission between host generations. In ticks, however, our knowledge of …

Horizontal transmission of the endosymbiont, Wolbachia, may occur during superparasitism
when parasitoid females deposit a second clutch of eggs on a host. Wolbachia may increase …
