The obligate, intracellular bacterium Wolbachia pipientis confers resistance towards virus
infections in the arthropod host and is thus seen as an exciting biocontrol agent to reduce …

Arthropod endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis is part of a global biocontrol strategy to reduce
the replication of mosquito-borne RNA viruses such as alphaviruses. We previously …

Vector-borne viral diseases pose significant risks to human health. To control the
transmission of these viruses, a number of approaches are required. The ability of the …

The ability of the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis to restrict RNA viruses is presently
being leveraged to curb global transmission of arbovirus-induced diseases. Past studies …

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a considerable threat to human and animal
health, yet effective control measures have proven difficult to implement, and novel means of …

Wolbachia pipientis is an intracellular endosymbiont known to confer host resistance against
RNA viruses in insects. However, the causal mechanism underlying this antiviral defense …

Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted bacterium that lives inside arthropod cells. Historically,
it was viewed primarily as a parasite that manipulates host reproduction, but more recently it …

The intracellular endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia can protect insects against viral
infection, and is being introduced into mosquito populations in the wild to block the …

As a maternally harbored endosymbiont, Wolbachia infects large proportions of insect
populations. Studies have recently reported the successful regulation of RNA virus …

Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted bacterial symbiont that is estimated to infect
approximately half of arthropod species. In the laboratory it can increase the resistance of …
