Since the discovery of natural malaria vector populations infected by the endosymbiont
bacterium Wolbachia, a renewed interest has arisen for using this bacterium as an …

During the last decade, the endosymbiont bacterium Wolbachia has emerged as a
biological tool for vector disease control. However, for long time, it was believed that …

Background Natural infections of the endosymbiont bacteria Wolbachia have recently been
discovered in populations of the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae (sl.) in Burkina Faso …

Wolbachia pipientis bacteria are maternally inherited endosymbionts that are of interest to
control the Anopheles mosquito vectors of malaria. Wolbachia does not infect Anopheles …

Wolbachia, a widespread bacterium that can reduce pathogen transmission in mosquitoes,
has recently been reported to be present in Anopheles (An.) species. In wild populations of …

ABSTRACT Wolbachia (Alphaproteobacteria, Rickettsiales) is an intraovarially transmitted
symbiont of insects able to exert striking phenotypes, including reproductive manipulations …

Wolbachia are maternally transmitted intracellular bacteria that invade insect populations by
manipulating their reproduction and immunity and thus limiting the spread of numerous …

The maternally inherited alpha-proteobacterium Wolbachia has been proposed as a tool to
block transmission of devastating mosquito-borne infectious diseases like dengue and …

Background: Wolbachia, a common insect endosymbiotic bacterium that can influence
pathogen transmission and manipulate host reproduction, has historically been considered …

Abstract Background Until very recently, Anopheles were considered naturally unable to
host Wolbachia, an intracellular bacterium regarded as a potential biological control tool …
