<i>Wolbachia</i> uses host microRNAs to manipulate host gene expression and facilitate colonization of the dengue vector <i>Aedes aegypti</i>
16 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
The obligate endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis is found in a wide range of invertebrates where they are best known for manipulating host reproduction. Recent studies have shown that Wolbachia also can modulate the lifespan of host insects and interfere with the development of human pathogens in mosquito vectors. Despite considerable study, very little is known about the molecular interactions between Wolbachia and...
