Wolbachia pipientis bacteria are common endosymbionts of insects that are best known for their ability to increase their prevalence in populations by manipulating host reproductive systems. However, there are examples of Wolbachia that exist in nature that seem to induce no reproductive parasitism trait and yet are able to invade populations.
· The authors found that Wolbachia infection delayed virus induced mortality in adult flies, compared with flies that did not contain Wolbachia. These results indicate that the antiviral effect observed in Wolbachia -infected Drosophila functions to protect flies from diverse RNA viruses. The authors proposed that the antiviral protection ...

Wolbachia can also protect against RNA viruses, as is the case in Drosophila (Hedges et al. 2008, Teixeira et al. 2008). Other bacterial symbionts such as Hamiltonella, Serratia, and Spiroplasma also protect their insect hosts from a variety of threats (e.g., Jaenike et al. 2010, Xie et al. 2010).
Wolbachia are intracellular, maternally inherited bacteria with an impressive history of adaptation to intracellular lifestyles. Instead of adapting to a single host lineage, Wolbachia evolved ways to jump across host species and …
· The diverse variety of viruses affected by Wolbachia infection of insects, suggests that the mechanisms are not likely to target interactions specific to one type of virus. It is also likely that the mechanisms are largely independent of Wolbachia strain given the importance of density and lack of phylogenetic congruency in strains that protect ...
· Mosquito-borne viruses are known to cause disease in humans and livestock and are often difficult to control due to the lack of specific antivirals and vaccines.
