Abstract: Wolbachia are inherited intracellular bacteria that cause male-specific death in some arthropods, called male-killing. To date, three Wolbachia strains have been identified in the oriental tea tortrix Homona magnanima (Tortricidae, Lepidoptera); however, none of these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1758-2229.13169
Abstract: Wolbachia can modulate the reproductive development of their hosts in multiple modes, and cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is the most well-studied phenotype. The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is highly receptive to different Wolbachia strains: wCcep strain from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jen.12531
Abstract: The pheromone‐based control of the invasive tomato pinworm Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) has been unsatisfactory in some cases, and parthenogenesis was reported in this species. As the parthenogenesis phenomena is a shortcoming that compromises the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12866-020-02011-2
Abstract: Background Phylogenetically closely related strains of maternally inherited endosymbiotic bacteria are often found in phylogenetically divergent, and geographically distant insect host species. The interspecies transfer of the symbiont Wolbachia has been thought to have occurred… read more here.

Abstract: Aedes aegypti mosquitoes carrying self-spreading, virus-blocking Wolbachia bacteria are being deployed to suppress dengue transmission. However, there are challenges in applying this technology in extreme environments. We introduced two Wolbachia strains into Ae. aegypti from… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects12100871
Abstract: Simple Summary Diverse strains of Wolbachia bacteria, carried by many arthropods, as well as some nematodes, interact in many different ways with their hosts. These include male killing, reproductive incompatibility, nutritional supplementation and suppression or… read more here.
