Horizontal transfer of genes and genomes in an endosymbiotic system: Investigation of the movement of intracellular bacteria and related gene transfer
DownloadFall 2013
The genus Wolbachia is comprised of intracellular gram negative bacteria capable of infecting a wide range of insect hosts. In arthropods, Wolbachia are reproductive parasites that can cause cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis, feminization or male killing, each of which enhances the...

The endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis is a Gram negative alpha proteobacterium and is found in a wide range of insects, spiders and mites, nematodes, and crustaceans. Wolbachia is responsible for several reproductive manipulations within its host, most notably, cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI...

Wolbachia are obligate intracellular bacteria which commonly infect arthropods. They are maternally inherited and capable of altering host development, sex determination, and reproduction. Reproductive manipulations include feminization, male-killing, parthenogenesis, and cytoplasmic...

Unique cellular interactions between the obligate intracellular bacteria Wolbachia pipientis and its insect host
DownloadFall 2011
Wolbachia are maternally inherited obligate intracellular bacteria found in arthropods, where they induce feminization, male-killing, parthenogenesis, and cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI is conditional male sterility, in which Wolbachia-infected males successfully mate with infected females,...
