Taxonomic status of the intracellular bacterium Wolbachia pipientis.
Wolbachia pipientis is a maternally inherited, intracellular bacterium found in more than 20 % of all insects, as well as numerous other arthropods and filarial nematodes. It has been the subject of a growing number of studies in recent decades, because of the remarkable effects it has on its arthropod hosts, its potential as a tool for biological control of arthropods of agricultural and medic...
متن کاملInvestigating the presence of Wolbachia pipientis in various mosquito species
Wolbachia pipientis are endosymbionts that infect many insects, arachnids, and nematodes. By comparing the Wolbachia DNA sequences contained in different infected insect species, one can investigate the evolutionary history of arthropods and the modes of transmission of this reproductive parasite. We collected and extracted DNA from several mosquito species to test for the presence of Wolbachia...
متن کاملAn ancient horizontal gene transfer between mosquito and the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia pipientis.
The extent and biological relevance of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in eukaryotic evolution remain highly controversial. Recent studies have demonstrated frequent and large-scale HGT from endosymbiotic bacteria to their hosts, but the great majority of these transferred genes rapidly become nonfunctional in the recipient genome. Here, we investigate an ancient HGT between a host metazoan and ...
متن کاملDiscovery of Putative Small Non-Coding RNAs from the Obligate Intracellular Bacterium Wolbachia pipientis
Wolbachia pipientis is an endosymbiotic bacterium that induces a wide range of effects in its insect hosts, including manipulation of reproduction and protection against pathogens. Little is known of the molecular mechanisms underlying the insect-Wolbachia interaction, though it is likely to be mediated via the secretion of proteins or other factors. There is an increasing amount of evidence th...
متن کاملCytonuclear Epistasis Controls the Density of Symbiont Wolbachia pipientis in Nongonadal Tissues of Mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus
Wolbachia pipientis, a bacterial symbiont infecting arthropods and nematodes, is vertically transmitted through the female germline and manipulates its host's reproduction to favor infected females. Wolbachia also infects somatic tissues where it can cause nonreproductive phenotypes in its host, including resistance to viral pathogens. Wolbachia-mediated phenotypes are strongly associated with ...
