The most widespread intracellular bacteria in the animal kingdom are maternally inherited
endosymbionts of the genus Wolbachia. Their prevalence in arthropods and nematodes …

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

Wolbachia are the most common obligate, intracellular bacteria in animals. They exist
worldwide in arthropod and nematode hosts in which they commonly act as reproductive …

Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted bacterium that lives inside arthropod cells. Historically,
it was viewed primarily as a parasite that manipulates host reproduction, but more recently it …

The ability to genetically manipulate a pathogen is fundamental to discovering factors
governing host–pathogen interactions at the molecular level and is critical for devising …

Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of the arboviruses dengue (DENV) and chikungunya
(CHIKV). These viruses exhibit key differences in their vector interactions, the latter moving …

Wolbachia is one of the most common bacterial endosymbionts, which is frequently found in
numerous arthropods and nematode taxa. Wolbachia infections can have a strong influence …

Endosymbionts can influence host reproduction and fitness to favor their maternal
transmission. For example, endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria often cause cytoplasmic …

Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted bacterium that is widespread in arthropods and filarial
nematodes and confers strong antiviral protection in Drosophila melanogaster and other …

Mosquito‐borne diseases remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Population
replacement strategies involving the w Mel strain of Wolbachia are being used widely to …
