alter host reproductive behavior

‘Candidatus Cardinium’ is a recently described bacterium from the Bacteroidetes group involved in diverse reproduction alterations of its arthropod hosts (including cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis, and feminization) similar to Wolbachia

Methylobacterium can be important in several physiological and metabolic processes in Lu. evansi, which suggests that interactions could occur with Leishmania parasite

regulate host reproduction

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

induce complete cytoplasmic incompatibility

Wolbachia-infected host embryonic development genes revealed Ddx1 mRNAs, which is required for host viability and in the germ line, accumulated in the posterior region of 3-day-old embryos

supplement biotin and riboflavin to enhance reproduction in planthoppers

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

induce cytoplasmic incompatibility and control the spread of arboviruses around the world through blockage of viral transmission

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

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

This genus was identified as dominant in intensively feeding second-stage larvae and suggests a mechanism by which L2 larvae might process cellulose.

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

wCle provisions the bed bug with B vitamins.It is likely that because of wCle’s nutritional contribution to the bed bug, its titer increases in relation to bed bug growth and development.

Wolbachia infection significantly reduced hatch rate in infected eggs (by 10%) but improved larvo-nymphal viability sufficiently so that infected eggs nevertheless yielded as many adults as uninfected ones, albeit with a 1.5% longer total development time

modulation of plant CK levels is impaired in the Wolbachia-free host

there were few significant changes in immune or reproductive proteins between samples with and without Wolbachia infection. Differentially expressed proteins were involved in the binding process, catalytic activity, and the metabolic process
