Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia induces costs to life-history and reproductive traits (decreased larval survival and adult longevity, and prolonged developmental period) and exhibits cytoplasmic incompatibility between uninfected females and infected males.

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia has been reported both to extend and shorten longevity; its lifespan-modulating effects are proposed to involve pathways like insulin/insulin-like growth factor, immune deficiency, ecdysteroid synthesis, and heat shock protein synthesis/autophagy.
