Glossina (Genus)

Wigglesworthia up-regulates expression of odorant binding protein six in the gut of intrauterine tsetse larvae which regulates hematopoietic pathways…

the bacterium and tsetse host compete for finite nutrients, which negatively impact female fecundity by increasing the length of intrauterine larval …

symbiont-derived factors, likely B vitamins, are critical for the proper function of both lipid biosynthesis and lipolysis to maintain tsetse fly fec…

flies harbouring this symbiont have three times greater probability of being infected by trypanosomes than flies without the symbiont.

Synthesis of a large number of B vitamins, to supplement the host nutritional deficiencies of the diet

up-regulates expression of odorant binding protein six in the gut of intrauterine tsetse larvae

it is possible that high Spiroplasma density may also play a role in larval fitness

retains a thiamine ABC transporter (tbpAthiPQ) believed to salvage thiamine

quorum sensing primes the oxidative stress response of endosymbiont

provide its tsetse host with metabolites such as vitamins

influence host vector competence

can synthesize thiamine
