Wolbachia are intracellular bacteria that infect a vast range of arthropod species, making
them one of the most prevalent endosymbionts in the world. Wolbachia's stunning …

Wolbachia are intracellular, maternally inherited bacteria with an impressive history of
adaptation to intracellular lifestyles. Instead of adapting to a single host lineage, Wolbachia …

The first edition of Tanada and Kaya's Insect Pathology is the standard reference in the field
for researchers and both undergraduate and graduate students and is well known …

Symbioses with microbes play a pivotal role in the evolutionary success of insects, and can
lead to intimate host–symbiont associations. However, how the host maintains a stable …

Novel strategies are required to control mosquitoes and the pathogens they transmit. One
attractive approach involves maternally inherited endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria. After …

Background The mosquito Aedes aegypti was recently transinfected with a life-shortening
strain of the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis (w MelPop) as the first step in developing a …

The outcome of microbial infection of insects is dependent not only on interactions between
the host and pathogen, but also on the interactions between microbes that co-infect the host …

The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stål), the most destructive pest of rice, has
been identified, including biotypes with high virulence towards previously resistant rice …

Wolbachia is a common heritable bacterial symbiont in insects. Its evolutionary success lies
in the diverse phenotypic effects it has on its hosts coupled to its propensity to move …

Wolbachia pipientis is an insect endosymbiont known to limit the replication of viruses
including dengue and Zika in their primary mosquito vector, Aedes aegypti. Wolbachia is …
