Variation in Wolbachia effects on Aedes mosquitoes as a determinant of invasiveness and vectorial capacity

JG King, C Souto-Maior, LM Sartori… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Wolbachia has been introduced into Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to control the spread of
arboviruses, such as dengue, chikungunya and Zika. Studies showed that certain Wolbachia …

Testing the potential contribution of Wolbachia to speciation when cytoplasmic incompatibility becomes associated with host‐related reproductive isolation

DJ Bruzzese, H Schuler, TM Wolfe… - Molecular …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Endosymbiont‐induced cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) may play an important role in
arthropod speciation. However, whether CI consistently becomes associated or coupled with …

Two-sex mosquito model for the persistence of Wolbachia

L Xue, CA Manore, P Thongsripong… - Journal of biological …, 2017 - Taylor & Francis

transmission dynamics of releasing Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes to establish an endemic …

Evolution of reproductive parasites with direct fitness benefits

R Zug, P Hammerstein - Heredity, 2018 - nature.com
Maternally inherited symbionts such as Wolbachia have long been seen mainly as
reproductive parasites, with deleterious effects on host fitness. It is becoming clear, however …

Unveiling time in dose-response models to infer host susceptibility to pathogens

D Pessoa, C Souto-Maior, E Gjini… - PLoS Computational …, 2014 - journals.plos.org
The biological effects of interventions to control infectious diseases typically depend on the
intensity of pathogen challenge. As much as the levels of natural pathogen circulation vary …

We propose a conceptual model for pollination and fertilization of tomato flowers in
greenhouses crops by hoverflies, when the maximal number of adult pollinators maintained …

On the mathematics of populations

MGM Gomes - bioRxiv, 2019 - biorxiv.org
Selection acting on unobserved heterogeneity is a fundamental issue in the mathematics of
populations. As recognised in disciplines as diverse as demography [,,], ecology [,] …

[图书][B] Mixed Mode Dynamics of Ecological and Geographic Speciation in the Rhagoletis cingulata Sibling Species Group and Associated Wolbachia Endosymbionts

DJ Bruzzese - 2023 - search.proquest.com
In sexual organisms, speciation occurs as genetically based barriers evolve between
populations to cause them to become reproductively isolated. The types and chronology in …
