Wolbachia, a bacterium that infects insect populations, has been examined extensively in
Drosophila populations and, in recent years, has garnered significant attention for its …

Background Wolbachia are maternally inherited endosymbiotic bacteria that manipulate the
reproductive success of their insect hosts. Uninfected females that mate with Wolbachia …

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

Wolbachia are maternally inherited endosymbiotic bacteria found within many insect
species. Aedes mosquitoes experimentally infected with Wolbachia are being released into …

Wolbachia pipientis is a maternally inherited obligate intracellular bacterium and a common
endosymbiont of many terrestrial arthropods. Wolbachia induce a diverse range of …

Background The insect endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia is being deployed in field
populations of the mosquito Aedes aegypti for biological control. This microbe prevents the …

Certain strains of the endosymbiont Wolbachia have the potential to lower the vectorial
capacity of mosquito populations and assist in controlling a number of mosquito-borne …

Wolbachia are maternally inherited bacteria that induce cytoplasmic incompatibility in
mosquitoes, and are able to use these patterns of sterility to spread themselves through …

Wolbachia bacteria are known to cause deviations from random mating and affect sperm
competition (SC) in some of their arthropod hosts. Because these effects could influence the …

Wolbachia, an endosymbiont bacteria, is common in various invertebrates and known for
host reproductive manipulation strategies as well as for slowing the replication of certain …
