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 …

The endosymbiont Wolbachia can have major effects on the reproductive fitness, and
vectorial capacity of host insects and may provide new avenues to control mosquito‐borne …

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 …

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

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

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 …

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

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

Wolbachia, a widespread bacterium which can influence mosquito-borne pathogen
transmission, has recently been detected within Anopheles (An.) species that are malaria …
