Wolbachia pipientis are maternally inherited, endosymbiotic bacteria that are widespread
among insects. Two recent studies have demonstrated that Wolbachia inhibits the ability of …

Wolbachia pipientis is the most common bacterial infection in the animal world and wields a
vast influence on invertebrate reproduction, sex determination, speciation, and behavior …

Wolbachia, a common bacterial endosymbiont of insects, has been shown to protect its
hosts against a wide range of pathogens. However, not all strains exert a protective effect on …

In this review we examine how exploiting the Wolbachia–mosquito relationship has become
an increasingly popular strategy for controlling arbovirus transmission. Field deployments of …

Mosquito-transmitted diseases impose a growing burden on human health, and current
control strategies have proven insufficient to stem the tide. The bacterium Wolbachia is a …

Most human filarial nematode parasites and arthropods are hosts for a bacterial
endosymbiont, Wolbachia. In filaria, Wolbachia are required for normal development, fertility …

Endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria are potent modulators of pathogen infection and
transmission in multiple naturally and artificially infected insect species, including important …

Wolbachia are Gram-negative bacteria that form intracellular inherited infections in many
invertebrates. They are extremely common, with 20 75% of all insects being infected …

The symbiotic bacterium Wolbachia is an attractive agent for vector-borne pathogen control.
It has long been studied for its ability to manipulate host reproduction and spread into …

The endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia is being investigated as a potential control agent in
several important vector insect species. Recent studies have shown that Wolbachia can …
