Wolbachia

• 

  Subject Areas on Research

  • Bacteriophage flux in endosymbionts (Wolbachia): infection frequency, lateral transfer, and recombination rates. 
  • Endosymbiosis: lessons in conflict resolution. 
  • Microbes increase thermal sensitivity in the mosquito Aedes aegypti, with the potential to change disease distributions. 
  • Phylogeny of Wolbachia pipientis based on gltA, groEL and ftsZ gene sequences: clustering of arthropod and nematode symbionts in the F supergroup, and evidence for further diversity in the Wolbachia tree. 
  • Retrotransposons Are the Major Contributors to the Expansion of the Drosophila ananassae Muller F Element. 
  • The tripartite associations between bacteriophage, Wolbachia, and arthropods. 
  • Toward a Wolbachia multilocus sequence typing system: discrimination of Wolbachia strains present in Drosophila species. 
  • Widespread recombination throughout Wolbachia genomes.
