Wolbachia are successful Gram-negative bacterial endosymbionts, globally infecting a large
fraction of arthropod species and filarial nematodes. Efficient vertical transmission, the …

Animals live in symbiosis with numerous microbe species. While some can protect hosts
from infection and benefit host health, components of the microbiota or changes to the …

Introduction Dengue is one of the most widespread mosquito-borne diseases in the world.
The causative agent, dengue virus (DENV), is primarily transmitted by the mosquito Aedes …

Wolbachia are the most abundant bacterial endosymbionts among arthropods. Although
maternally inherited, they do not conform to the widespread view that vertical transmission …

Wolbachia is an endosymbiotic Alphaproteobacteria that can suppress insect-borne
diseases through decreasing host virus transmission (population replacement) or through …

Mosquito species, members of the genera Aedes, Anopheles and Culex, are the major
vectors of human pathogens including protozoa (Plasmodium sp.), filariae and of a variety of …

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria are currently being released for
arbovirus suppression around the world. Their potential to invade populations and persist …

Wolbachia are intracellular bacterial symbionts that are able to protect various insect hosts
from viral infections. This tripartite interaction was initially described in Drosophila …

The bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis protects its hosts from a range of pathogens
by limiting their ability to form infections inside the insect. This “pathogen blocking” could be …

Wolbachia pipientis is an endosymbiotic bacterium estimated to chronically infect between
40–75% of all arthropod species. Aedes aegypti, the principle mosquito vector of dengue …
