Journal ArticleDOI
Wolbachia increases susceptibility to Plasmodium infection in a natural system
Flore Zélé,Antoine Nicot,Arnaud Berthomieu,Mylène Weill,Olivier Duron,Olivier Duron,Ana Rivero +6 more
TL;DR: Wolbachia increases the susceptibility of Culex pipiens mosquitoes to Plasmodium relictum, significantly increasing the prevalence of salivary gland stage infections, and suggests that naturally Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes may, in fact, be better vectors of malaria than Wolbachian-free ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid evolution of parasitoids when faced with the symbiont-mediated resistance of their hosts.
TL;DR: This study highlighted the considerable role of symbionts in host–parasite co‐evolutionary dynamics by using an experimental evolution procedure in which parasitoids were exposed either to highly resistant aphids harbouring the symbiont or to low innate resistant hosts free of H. defensa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Avian malaria: a new lease of life for an old experimental model to study the evolutionary ecology of Plasmodium.
Romain Pigeault,Julien Vézilier,Stéphane Cornet,Flore Zélé,Antoine Nicot,Philippe Perret,Sylvain Gandon,Ana Rivero +7 more
TL;DR: A wide-ranging picture of the within-host and between-host parameters that may bear on malaria transmission and epidemiology is provided, including parasitaemia, gametocytaemia, host morbidity (anaemia) and transmission rates to mosquitoes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infection with Wolbachia protects mosquitoes against Plasmodium‐induced mortality in a natural system
TL;DR: Wolbachia protects mosquitoes from Plasmodium‐induced mortality, the first time that such an effect has been shown for Plas modium‐infected mosquitoes and, in particular, in a natural Wolbachia–host combination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology and evolution of facilitation among symbionts
TL;DR: It is argued that the facilitation concept can improve understanding of the evolutionary forces shaping symbiont communities and their effects on hosts, and how facilitation theory can improveUnderstanding of these interactions.
