Differential viral RNA methylation contributes to pathogen blocking in Wolbachia-colonized arthropod

T. Bhattacharya, L. Yan, H. Zaher, I. L. G. Newton, R. W. Hardy

This study shows that Wolbachia reduces viral RNA methylation via DNMT2 suppression, inhibiting alphavirus replication and transmission.

Viral RNA is a target for Wolbachia-mediated pathogen blocking

T. Bhattacharya, I. L. G. Newton, R. W. Hardy

This study identifies viral RNA as a target for Wolbachia-mediated pathogen blocking, showing it limits virus replication and infectivity in mosquito cells and reduces transmission to vertebrates.

Wolbachia and virus alter the host transcriptome at the interface of nucleotide metabolism pathways

A. R. I. Lindsey, T. Bhattacharya, R. W. Hardy, I. Newton

The paper investigates how Wolbachia and viruses jointly affect the transcriptome of Drosophila, revealing altered metabolic pathways and dampened transcriptomic responses to virus infection.
