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 …

Wolbachia bacteria inhabit the cells of about half of all arthropod species, an unparalleled
success stemming in large part from selfish invasive strategies. Cytoplasmic incompatibility …

Symbiosis between intracellular bacteria (endosymbionts) and animals are widespread. The
alphaproteobacterium Wolbachia pipientis is known to maintain a variety of symbiotic …

Maternally transmitted Wolbachia infect about half of insect species, yet the predominant
mode (s) of Wolbachia acquisition remains uncertain. Species-specific associations could …

Background: Wolbachia, a common insect endosymbiotic bacterium that can influence
pathogen transmission and manipulate host reproduction, has historically been considered …

Facultative, heritable endosymbionts are found at intermediate prevalence within most
insect species, playing frequent roles in their hosts' defence against environmental …

The bacterium Wolbachia infects many insect species and spreads by diverse vertical and
horizontal means. As co-inherited organisms, these bacteria often cause problems in …

Abstract Bacterial endosymbionts, particularly Wolbachia (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae),
Rickettsia (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae), and Cardinium (Bacteroidales: Bacteroidaceae) …

Abstract Wolbachia (Alphaproteobacteria, Rickettsiales) is the most common, and arguably
one of the most important inherited symbionts. Molecular differentiation of Wolbachia strains …

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