Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia alters host reproductive behavior.

2019

Cardinium

Bacteroidota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Candidatus Cardinium is involved in diverse reproduction alterations of its arthropod hosts, including cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis, and feminization.

2019

Methylobacterium

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Methylobacterium may be important in several physiological and metabolic processes in Lutzomyia evansi, suggesting possible interactions with the Leishmania parasite.

2019

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Wolbachia regulates host reproduction.

2019

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia induces cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) in H. hebetor and affects host mating behavior in favor of its transmission.

2019

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia induces complete cytoplasmic incompatibility.

2019

Wolbachia wStri

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia wStri influences host embryonic development genes, with Ddx1 mRNAs accumulating in the posterior region of 3-day-old embryos, which is required for host viability and germ line development.

2019

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia supplements biotin and riboflavin to enhance reproduction in planthoppers.

2019

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia is dominantly harbored in a female than in a male adult, though no significant differences were observed between male and female body parts and tissues.

2018

Aedes aegypti

Australia

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia strain wMel induces cytoplasmic incompatibility and is used to control the spread of arboviruses through blockage of viral transmission.

2018

Wolbachia pipientis

Pseudomonadota

Drosophila melanogaster

USA, Austria, Japan

Bacteria
Extracellular

Wolbachia pipientis increases the recombination rate observed across two genomic intervals and increases the efficacy of natural selection in hosts.

2018

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia enhances nanos expression via the bacterial TomO protein in order to fuel germ stem cell maintenance in infected Drosophila females.

2018

Tsukamurella

Actinomycetota

Bacteria

Tsukamurella is dominant in intensively feeding second-stage larvae and suggests a mechanism by which L2 larvae might process cellulose.

2018

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia can eliminate males, turn them into females, sterilize uninfected females, or behave as a mutualistic symbiont.

2018

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia (wCle) provisions the bed bug with B vitamins, and its titer increases in relation to bed bug growth and development due to this nutritional contribution.

2018

Bacteria
Extracellular

2018

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia infection significantly reduced the hatch rate in infected eggs but improved larvo-nymphal viability, resulting in the same number of adults as uninfected eggs, despite a 1.5% longer total development time.

2018

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia is associated with impaired modulation of plant cytokinin (CK) levels in the Wolbachia-free host.

2018

Wolbachia ST375

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

2018

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia infection resulted in few significant changes in immune or reproductive proteins, with differentially expressed proteins involved in the binding process, catalytic activity, and metabolic processes.
