Animals live in symbiosis with numerous microbe species. While some can protect hosts
from infection and benefit host health, components of the microbiota or changes to the …

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

Wolbachia pipientis from Drosophila melanogaster (w Mel) is an endosymbiotic bacterium
that restricts transmission of human pathogenic flaviviruses and alphaviruses, including …

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 growing expansion of mosquito vectors has made mosquito-borne arboviral diseases a
global threat to public health, and the lack of licensed vaccines and treatments highlight the …

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 …

Mosquito-transmitted diseases impose a growing burden on human health, and current
control strategies have proven insufficient to stem the tide. The bacterium Wolbachia is a …

Symbiotic microbial communities augment host phenotype, including defense against
pathogen carriage and infection. We sampled the microbial communities in 11 adult …

Understanding the coevolution of hosts and parasites is a long‐standing goal of
evolutionary biology. There is a well‐developed theoretical framework to describe the …

Environmental conditions affect insect fitness, with many species constrained by specific
temperature ranges. Aphids are limited to temperate climates and it is hypothesized that this …
