Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important evolutionary process that allows the spread
of innovations between distantly related organisms. We present evidence that prokaryotes …

Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are the sole vectors of African trypanosomes, the
causative agent of sleeping sickness in human and nagana in animals. Like most eukaryotic …

The bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia manipulates arthropod reproduction to facilitate its
maternal spread through host populations. The most common manipulation is cytoplasmic …

Wolbachia are maternally inherited bacteria that infect arthropod species worldwide and are
deployed in vector control to curb arboviral spread using cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI …

Wolbachia are the most common obligate, intracellular bacteria in animals. They exist
worldwide in arthropod and nematode hosts in which they commonly act as reproductive …

The α-proteobacteria Wolbachia are among the most common intracellular bacteria and
have recently emerged as important drivers of arthropod biology. Wolbachia commonly act …

Wolbachia infections are a model for understanding intracellular, bacterial symbioses. While
the symbiosis is often studied from a binary perspective of host and bacteria, it is …

Terrestrial arthropods are often infected with heritable bacterial symbionts, which may
themselves be infected by bacteriophages. However, what role, if any, bacteriophages play …

Wolbachia is one of the most common bacterial endosymbionts, which is frequently found in
numerous arthropods and nematode taxa. Wolbachia infections can have a strong influence …

Wolbachiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that infect arthropods and certain nematodes.
Usually maternally inherited, they may provision nutrients to (mutualism) or alter sexual …
