This study shows that introducing novel endosymbionts into the aphid Diuraphis noxia alters its dispersal ability and plant feeding damage, with Rickettsiella increasing damage and Regiella reducing it.

This study evaluates the inhibition of genetically diverse dengue virus strains by two Wolbachia strains, finding differential effectiveness and implications for control strategies.

This study examines how successive blood feeding affects DENV-2 dissemination and survival in Ae. aegypti mosquitoes with and without Wolbachia, finding that Wolbachia strongly inhibits virus transmission despite frequent feeding.

This study shows that Spiroplasma and heat hardening protect male fertility in Drosophila species under heat stress, reducing climate change risk in D. birchii.

This study transinfected the bird cherry-oat aphid with Regiella insecticola, enhancing host fitness and reducing plant virus transmission.

This study evaluates the impact of Wolbachia strains wAlbB and wMelM on egg retention and viability in Aedes aegypti females under extended egg retention conditions, finding greater negative effects with wMelM.

This paper shows that low concentrations of the fungal biopesticide Beauveria bassiana enhance aphid longevity and fecundity, with effects persisting across generations, while high concentrations cause mortality.

The paper identifies two genomic variants of Wolbachia strain wAlbB, showing differences in gene content and density that correlate with environmental tolerance and stability in mosquito populations.
