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

Insects share an intimate relationship with their gut microflora and this symbiotic association
has developed into an essential evolutionary outcome intended for their survival through …

Insect symbioses lack the complexity and diversity of those associated with higher
eukaryotic hosts. Symbiotic microbiomes are beneficial to their insect hosts in many ways …

The first edition of Tanada and Kaya's Insect Pathology is the standard reference in the field
for researchers and both undergraduate and graduate students and is well known …

Over evolutionary time, Wolbachia has been repeatedly transferred between host species
contributing to the widespread distribution of the symbiont in arthropods. For novel infections …

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

Wolbachia is an intracellular endosymbiont infecting most arthropod and some filarial
nematode species that is vertically transmitted through the maternal lineage. Due to this …

Novel strategies are required to control mosquitoes and the pathogens they transmit. One
attractive approach involves maternally inherited endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria. After …

Insects have evolved obligate, mutualistic interactions with bacteria without further
transmission to other eukaryotic organisms. Such long-term obligate partnerships between …

Wolbachia are intracellular bacteria that infect a vast range of arthropod species, making
them one of the most prevalent endosymbionts in the world. Wolbachia's stunning …
