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

Human pathogens that are transmitted by insects are a global problem, particularly those
vectored by mosquitoes; for example, malaria parasites transmitted by Anopheles species …

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

In this review we examine how exploiting the Wolbachia–mosquito relationship has become
an increasingly popular strategy for controlling arbovirus transmission. Field deployments of …

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 are widespread endosymbiotic bacteria that manipulate the reproduction of
arthropods through a diversity of cellular mechanisms. In cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), a …

Wolbachia are maternally inherited, intracellular bacteria at the forefront of vector control
efforts to curb arbovirus transmission. In international field trials, the cytoplasmic …

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