Among endosymbiotic bacteria living within eukaryotic cells, Wolbachia is exceptionally
widespread, particularly in arthropods. Inherited through the female germline, it has evolved …

The rising interest and success in deploying inherited microorganisms and cytoplasmic
incompatibility (CI) for vector control strategies necessitate an explanation of the CI …

The endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia can invade insect populations by modifying host
reproduction through cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), an effect that results in embryonic …

Insects engage in manifold interactions with bacteria that can shift along the parasitism–
mutualism continuum. However, only a small number of bacterial taxa managed to …

Divergent hosts often associate with intracellular microbes that influence their fitness.
Maternally transmitted Wolbachia bacteria are the most common of these endosymbionts …

Glenea cantor Fabricius (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) is an important pest that damages kapok
trees in Southeast Asia with a wide adaptability to temperature. Glycerol is a protectant and …

About half of all insect species carry maternally inherited Wolbachia alphaproteobacteria,
making Wolbachia the most common endosymbionts known in nature. Often Wolbachia …

Abstract Background: Transposable elements (TEs) and noncoding sequences are major
components of the genome, yet their functional contributions to long noncoding RNAs …

At least half of all insect species carry maternally inherited Wolbachia alphaproteobacteria,
making Wolbachia the most common endosymbionts in nature. Wolbachia spread to high …

The symbiosis between arthropods and Wolbachia bacteria is globally widespread, largely
due to selfish-drive systems that favour the fitness of symbiont-transmitting females. The …
