maternally inherited, they do not conform to the widespread view that vertical transmission …

Arthropod-borne viruses (Arboviruses) continue to generate significant health and economic
burdens for people living in endemic regions. Of these viruses, some of the most important …

Mosquitoes are insects of interest because several species vector disease‐causing
pathogens to humans and other vertebrates. We previously reported that mosquitoes from …

Wolbachia are endosymbionts found in many insects with the potential to suppress
vectorborne diseases, particularly through interfering with pathogen transmission …

Background Wolbachia is an obligate intracellular maternally transmitted, gram-negative
bacterium which forms a spectrum of endosymbiotic relationships from parasitism to …

The endosymbiont Wolbachia represents a promising method of dengue control, as it
reduces the ability of the primary vector, the mosquito Aedes aegypti, to transmit viruses …

Wolbachia pipientis is the most common bacterial infection in the animal world and wields a
vast influence on invertebrate reproduction, sex determination, speciation, and behavior …

Microorganisms present in mosquitoes and their interactions are key factors affecting insect
development. Among them, Wolbachia is closely associated with the host and affects …

Background Mosquitoes harbor microbial communities that play important roles in their
growth, survival, reproduction, and ability to transmit human pathogens. Microbiome …

Symbionts can have mutualistic effects that increase their host's fitness and/or parasitic
effects that reduce it. Which of these strategies evolves depends in part on the balance of …
