13. Why do we need alternative tools to control mosquito-borne diseases in Latin America?
In this opinion paper, we discuss the potential and challenges of using the symbiont Wolbachia to block mosquito transmitted diseases such as dengue, malaria and chikungunya in Latin America.

14. Detection of Wolbachia (Alphaproteobacteria: rickettsiales) in three species of terrestrial isopods (crustacea: isopoda: oniscidea) in Brazil
Terrestrial isopods are widely infected with Wolbachia. However, little is known about the presence of bacteria in the Neotropical species. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis of presence of Wolbachia infection in the native species of terrestrial isopods, Atlantoscia floridana and Circoniscus bezzii, and in the introduced species Burmonis

15. First record of Wolbachia in South American terrestrial isopods: prevalence and diversity in two species of Balloniscus (Crustacea, Oniscidea)
Wolbachia are endosymbiotic bacteria that commonly infect arthropods, inducing certain phenotypes in their hosts. So far, no endemic South American species of terrestrial isopods have been investigated for Wolbachia infection. In this work, populations from two species of Balloniscus (B. sellowii and B. glaber) were studied through a diagnostic PCR assay. Fi

16. A interação Wolbachia - Trichogramma galloi Zucchi, 1988 (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) / The interaction of Wolbachia - Trichogramma galloi Zucchi, 1988 (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)
Wolbachia é uma -Proteobacteria transmitida transovarianamente, comum a diversas espécies de insetos. Este simbionte é conhecido pela habilidade em explorar os sistemas reprodutivos de seus hospedeiros, induzindo alterações no modo de reprodução dos mesmos, como a indução de incompatibilidade citoplasmática, telitoquia, feminização e morte de mac

17. New mariner elements in Anastrepha species (Diptera: Tephritidae)
Mariner-like elements (MLE) are members from class II of transposable elements also known as DNA transposons. These elements have a wide distribution among different groups of organisms, including insects, which can be explained by horizontal and vertical gene-transfer. MLE families have been described in tephritid flies and other genera. During screening fo

18. High prevalence and lack of diversity of Wolbachia pipientis in Aedes albopictus populations from Northeast Brazil
The use of Wolbachia as a tool to control insect vectors has recently been suggested. In this context, studies on the prevalence and diversity of this bacterium in wild populations are relevant. Here, we evaluated the diversity of two Wolbachiagenes (ftsZ and wsp) and the prevalence of this endosymbiont in wild Aedes albopictus. Using semi-nested polymerase

19. Can Wolbachia be used to control malaria?
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted by the infectious bite of Anopheles mosquitoes. Vector control of malaria has predominantly focused on targeting the adult mosquito through insecticides and bed nets. However, current vector control methods are often not sustainable for long periods so alternative metho

20. Variations in the sensitivity of different primers for detecting Wolbachia in Anastrepha (diptera: tephritidae)
Wolbachia are endosymbiont bacteria of the family Rickettsiacea that are widespread in invertebrates and occur between 20% and 60% of Neotropical insects. These bacteria are responsible for reproductive phenomena such as cytoplasmic incompatibility, male killing, feminization and parthenogenesis. Supergroups A and B of Wolbachia are common in insects and can

21. Wolbachia screening in spiders and assessment of horizontal transmission between predator and prey
Recent studies have revealed that the prevalence of Wolbachia in arthropods is attributable not only to its vertical transmission, but also to its horizontal transfer. In order to assess the horizontal transmission of Wolbachia between predator and prey, arthropods belonging to 11 spider families and six insect families were collected in the same field of ri

22. Aspectos da relação simbiótica entre as bactérias Wolbachia (Alphaproteobacteria, Rickettsiales) e os isópodos terrestres (Crustacea, Oniscidea)
Wolbachia é uma alfaproteobactéria que apresenta simbiose com uma variedade de artrópodos e nematoides, estando entre os mais abundantes gêneros de bactérias intracelulares já descobertos. Na região Neotropical, os estudos sobre tais bactérias e seus hospedeiros, em especial isópodos terrestres, ainda são incipientes. O presente trabalho teve como

24. Assessing key safety concerns of a Wolbachia-based strategy to control dengue transmission by Aedes mosquitoes
Mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever, chikungunya or malaria affect millions of people each year and control solutions are urgently needed. An international research program is currently being developed that relies on the introduction of the bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis into Aedes aegypti to control dengue transmission. In order to prep
