Journal ArticleDOI
Wolbachia: master manipulators of invertebrate biology.
TL;DR: The basic biology of Wolbachia is reviewed, with emphasis on recent advances in the authors' understanding of these fascinating endosymbionts, which are found in arthropods and nematodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biology of wolbachia
TL;DR: Wolbachia biology is reviewed, including their phylogeny and distribution, mechanisms of action, population biology and evolution, and biological control implications.
Journal ArticleDOI
How many species are infected with Wolbachia?--A statistical analysis of current data.
TL;DR: A meta-analysis that estimates percentage of infected species based on data on the distribution of infection levels among species using a beta-binomial model and finds that within species the infection frequency follows a ‘most-or-few’ infection pattern.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution and Phylogeny of Wolbachia: Reproductive Parasites of Arthropods
TL;DR: A fine-scale phylogenetic analysis was done using DNA sequences from ftsZ, a rapidly evolving bacterial cell-cycle gene, finding that some insects harbour infections with more than one Wolbachia strain, even within individual insects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional and evolutionary insights from the genomes of three parasitoid Nasonia species.

TL;DR: Key findings include the identification of a functional DNA methylation tool kit; hymenopteran-specific genes including diverse venoms; lateral gene transfers among Pox viruses, Wolbachia, and Nasonia; and the rapid evolution of genes involved in nuclear-mitochondrial interactions that are implicated in speciation.
