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 …

The bacterial endosymbiont W olbachia manipulates arthropod host biology in numerous
ways, including sex ratio distortion and differential offspring survival. These bacteria infect a …

Biological control is the purposeful introduction of parasites, predators, and pathogens to
reduce or suppress pest populations. Wolbachia are inherited bacteria of arthropods that …

Facultative bacterial endosymbionts are associated with many arthropods and are primarily
transmitted vertically from mother to offspring. However, phylogenetic affiliations suggest that …

Background Wolbachia is one of the most widespread bacteria on Earth. Previous research
on Wolbachia-host interactions indicates that the bacterium is typically transferred vertically …

Conservation of host signaling pathways and tissue physiology between Drosophila
melanogaster and mammals allows for the modeling of human host–pathogen interactions …

The alpha-proteobacteria Wolbachia are the most widespread endosymbionts in arthropods
and nematodes. Mainly maternally inherited, these so-called sex parasites have selected …

Wfolbachia are a group of obligatory intracellular and maternally inherited bacteria found in
many arthropod species, including insects, mites, spiders, springtails, crustaceans, as well …

The horizontal transfer of the bacterium Wolbachia pipientis between invertebrate hosts
hinges on the ability of Wolbachia to adapt to new intracellular environments. The …

Wolbachia are the most prevalent and influential bacteria described among the insects to
date. But despite their significance, we lack an understanding of their evolutionary histories …
