Wolbachia are intracellular microorganisms that form maternally-inherited infections within numerous arthropod species. These bacteria have drawn much attention, due in part to the reproductive alterations that they induce in their hosts... more
MACRAE and ANDERSON observed a large frequency change of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes in a population initiated with two allopatric strains of Drosophila pseudoobscura, BogER from Colombia and AH162 from California. They concluded... more
Background The predatory mirids of the genus Macrolophus are key natural enemies of various economically important agricultural pests. Both M. caliginosus and M. pygmaeus are commercially available for the augmentative biological control... more
Wolbachia are a group of intracellular inherited bacteria that infect a wide range of arthropods. They are related with a variety of reproductive alterations in their host, the best known being cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). In this... more
Bacterial endosymbionts of insects have long been implicated in the phenomenon of cytoplasmic incompatibility, in which certain crosses between symbiont-infected individuals lead to embryonic death or sex ratio distortion. The taxonomic... more
Wolbachiainfections are a fascinating example of reproductive parasitism with strong potential to combat vector-borne diseases, due to their combined ability to spread in insect populations and block pathogen replication. Though... more
Maternally inherited variants, which arose within a laboratory colony of Culex pipiens fatigans, have been studied by rearing cultures from single egg rafts. Segregation, i.e, variation of cytoplasmic incompatibility properties between... more
Objective: The present study aimed to simultaneously evaluate the association between expression of three potential factors [post-acrosomal sheath WW domain-binding protein (PAWP), phospholipase Cζ (PLCζ), and truncated form of the kit... more
