Abstract: Wolbachia are maternally inherited endosymbionts that infect nearly half of all arthropod species. Wolbachia manipulate their hosts to maximize their transmission, but they can also provide benefits such as nutrients and resistance against viruses to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1010406
Abstract: Wolbachia are widespread maternally-transmitted bacteria of arthropods that often spread by manipulating their host’s reproduction through cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). Their invasive potential is currently being harnessed in field trials aiming to control mosquito-borne diseases. Wolbachia… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0010084
Abstract: Dengue fever is one of the most severe viral diseases transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, with traditional approaches of disease control proving insufficient to prevent significant disease burden. Release of Wolbachia-transinfected mosquitoes offers a promising alternative… read more here.
