▪ Abstract Wolbachia are a common and widespread group of bacteria found in reproductive
tissues of arthropods. These bacteria are transmitted through the cytoplasm of eggs and …

▪ Abstract The α-proteobacterium Wolbachia pipientis is a very common cytoplasmic
symbiont of insects, crustaceans, mites, and filarial nematodes. To enhance its transmission …

Wolbachia are a group of cytoplasmically inherited bacteria that cause reproduction
alterations in arthropods, including parthenogenesis, reproductive incompatibility and …

The chapters of this book are entitled: the evolution of heritable symbionts; cytoplasmic
incompatibility in insects; inherited microorganisms and sex determination of arthropod …

Wolbachia are intracellular microorganisms that form maternally-inherited infections within
numerous arthropod species. These bacteria have drawn much attention, due in part to the …

Insect Symbiosis summarizes the current knowledge of the relationship between symbiotic
organisms and their insect hosts and provides an unparalleled analysis of cutting-edge …

Wolbachia are maternally inherited, intracellular, alpha proteobacteria that infect a wide
range of arthropods. They cause three kinds of reproductive alterations in their hosts …

Strains of Drosophila simulans from Riverside, California (DSR) and Hawaii (DSH) harbour
distinct strains of the cytoplasmic incompatibility microorganism Wolbachia, resulting in the …

Thirty‐five percent of isopods are estimated to be infected by Wolbachia, an intracellular
maternally inherited α‐Proteobacterium. Previous studies have indicated that horizontal …

The sex-determining systems of arthropods are surprisingly diverse. Some species have
male or female heterogametic sex chromosomes while other species do not have sex …
