    • Evolutionary and Functional Studies of Wolbachia pipientis and its Phage 
      Metcalf, Jason Andrew (2014-09-26)
      Department: Biological Sciences
      Wolbachia pipientis is an obligate intracellular bacterium of increasing importance in understanding the tripartite interactions between viruses, bacteria, and eukaryotes, as well as having applications in modern medicine ...
    • Identifying and Characterizing Phage Genes Involved in Wolbachia-Induced Cytoplasmic Incompatibility 
      Shropshire, J. Dylan; 0000-0003-4221-2178 (2020-04-02)
      Department: Biological Sciences
      Wolbachia are maternally transmitted bacteria that infect ~40-65% of insect species, and commonly hijack their host’s reproduction to favor their spread. Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is Wolbachia’s most common manipulation ...
    • The genetic basis of Wolbachia-induced male killing in Drosophila 
      Perlmutter, Jessamyn Irene; 0000-0002-9789-4674 (2020-02-18)
      Department: Biological Sciences
      Microbe-animal symbioses are ubiquitous in nature. Microbes of particular host tissues often have unique functions or effects on the host. Within arthropods, microorganisms of the reproductive tissues may have profound ...
    • The Molecular Basis of Wolbachia-induced Cytoplasmic Incompatibility 
      LePage, Daniel Paul (2016-07-11)
      Department: Biological Sciences
      Wolbachia pipientis arguably constitute the largest pandemic of the animal kingdom. Estimated to infect 40% of all arthropod species, these obligate intracellular bacteria are masterful controllers of host reproduction and ...
