Insect heritable symbionts have proven to be ubiquitous, based on molecular screening of
various insect lineages. Recently, molecular and experimental approaches have yielded an …

Insects are associated with multiple microbes that have been reported to influence various
aspects of their biology. Most studies in insects, including pest species, focus on the …

Mosquito‐borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever and filariasis cause an enormous
health burden to people living in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Despite years …

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria are currently being released for
arbovirus suppression around the world. Their potential to invade populations and persist …

The Darwin Tree of Life (DToL) project aims to sequence all described terrestrial and
aquatic eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland. Reference genome sequences are …

Wolbachia are gram-negative bacteria that are widespread in nature, carried by the majority
of insect species as well as some mites, crustaceans, and filarial nematodes. Wolbachia can …

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

Viruses are trifurcated into eukaryotic, archaeal and bacterial categories. This domain-
specific ecology underscores why eukaryotic viruses typically co-opt eukaryotic genes and …

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 growing expansion of mosquito vectors has made mosquito-borne arboviral diseases a
global threat to public health, and the lack of licensed vaccines and treatments highlight the …
