Abstract: ABSTRACT Wolbachia bacteria are widespread, maternally transmitted endosymbionts of insects. Maintenance of sufficient Wolbachia titer in maternal germline cells is required for transmission efficacy. The mechanisms that regulate Wolbachia titer are not well understood; however,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1534/genetics.116.198903
Abstract: Wolbachia are gram-negative, obligate, intracellular bacteria carried by a majority of insect species worldwide. Here we use a Wolbachia-infected Drosophila cell line and genome-wide RNA interference (RNAi) screening to identify host factors that influence Wolbachia… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects13060559
Abstract: Simple Summary Trichogramma pretiosum is an important natural enemy of lepidopteran pests. Wolbachia is an intracellular endosymbiont that induces parthenogenesis in the parasitoid T. pretiosum. Tetracycline antibiotics are widely used to remove endosymbiont Wolbachia from… read more here.
