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

Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted bacterium that manipulates arthropod and nematode
biology in myriad ways. The Wolbachia strain colonizing Drosophila melanogaster creates …

Wolbachia endosymbionts are potentially useful tools for suppressing disease transmission
by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes because Wolbachia can interfere with the transmission of …

Wolbachia is an endosymbiotic bacterium that naturally infects several arthropods and
nematode species. Wolbachia gained particular attention due to its impact on their host …

Wolbachia symbionts hold theoretical promise as a way to drive transgenes into insect
vector populations for disease prevention. For simplicity, current models of Wolbachia …

In the last decade, bacterial symbionts have been shown to play an important role in
protecting hosts against pathogens. Wolbachia, a widespread symbiont in arthropods, can …

As traditional approaches to the control of dengue and Zika are insufficient, significant efforts
have been made to develop utilization of the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia to reduce …

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 …

Recent field trials have demonstrated that dengue incidence can be substantially reduced
by introgressing strains of the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia into Aedes aegypti …

Genetic manipulations of insect populations for pest control have been advocated for some
time, but there are few cases where manipulated individuals have been released in the field …
