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

Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is the most common symbiont-induced reproductive
manipulation. Specifically, symbiont-induced sperm modifications cause catastrophic mitotic …

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

Cytoplasmic incompatibility is a selfish reproductive manipulation induced by the
endosymbiont Wolbachia in arthropods. In males Wolbachia modifies sperm, leading to …

The Darwin Tree of Life (DToL) project aims to sequence all described terrestrial and
aquatic eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland. Reference genome sequences are …

Wolbachia bacteria inhabit the cells of about half of all arthropod species, an unparalleled
success stemming in large part from selfish invasive strategies. Cytoplasmic incompatibility …

Wolbachia is one of the most abundant endosymbionts on earth, with a wide distribution
especially in arthropods. Effective maternal transmission and the induction of various …

Endosymbiotic bacteria that live inside the cells of insects are typically only transmitted
maternally and can spread by increasing host fitness and/or modifying reproduction in …

Wolbachia are maternally inherited bacteria that infect arthropod species worldwide and are
deployed in vector control to curb arboviral spread using cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI …

Endosymbioses influence host physiology, reproduction, and fitness, but these relationships
require efficient microbe transmission between host generations to persist. Maternally …
