Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging contaminant and are confirmed to be ubiquitous in the
environment. Adverse effects of MPs on aquatic organisms have been widely studied …

Background Recent reports reveal the presence of Wolbachia in Ae. aegypti. Our study
presents additional support for Wolbachia infection in Ae. aegypti by screening field …

Wolbachia are alpha-proteobacteria symbionts infecting a large range of arthropod species
and two different families of nematodes. Interestingly, these endosymbionts are able to …

Some of the most important functional traits in animals are related to the potentially vast
array of feeding strategies and microhabitat use. Correlated evolution of diet and habitat …

The infamous “master manipulators”—intracellular bacteria of the genus Wolbachia—infect
a broad range of phylogenetically diverse invertebrate hosts in terrestrial ecosystems …

Wolbachia are endosymbiotic alpha-proteobacteria infecting a wide range of arthropods and
nematode hosts with diverse interactions, from reproductive parasites to obligate mutualists …

Wolbachia are widespread intracellular bacteria that mediate many important biological
processes in arthropod species. In this study, we identified 210 conserved single-copy …

Chickens in free-range environments are at risk of exposure to various pathogens, such as
filarioids transmitted via hematophagous vectors. However, the study of filarioids in poultry …

Cockroaches are significant pests worldwide, being important in medical, veterinary, and
public health fields. Control of cockroaches is difficult because they have robust reproductive …

Wolbachia is the most abundant intracellular symbiont among terrestrial Arthropoda. This
bacterium together with other microorganisms, ie, Cardinium, gained fame mainly as the …
