• Aedes fluviatilis cell lines as new tools to study metabolic and immune interactions in mosquito-Wolbachia symbiosis 

      Calixto, Christiano; Silva, Jhenifer N.; Sampaio, Angélica Fernandes Arcanjo; Nogueira, Cintia Lopes; Abreu, Leonardo Araujo de; Oliveira, Pedro Lagerblad de; Gondim, Katia Calp; Moraes, Bruno; Carvalho, Stephanie Serafim de; Silva, Renato Martins da; Vaz Junior, Itabajara da Silva; Moreira, Luciano A.; Logullo, Carlos (2021) [Artigo de periódico]
      In the present work, we established two novel embryonic cell lines from the mosquito Aedes fluviatilis containing or not the naturally occurring symbiont bacteria Wolbachia, which were called wAflu1 and Aflu2, respectively. ...
    • Detection of Wolbachia (ALPHA PROTEOBACTERIA: RICKETTSIALES) in three species of terrestrial isopods (CRUSTACEA: ISOPODA: ONISCIDEA) in Brazil 

      Zimmermann, Bianca Laís; Almerão, Maurício Pereira; Bouchon, Didier; Araujo, Paula Beatriz de (2012) [Artigo de periódico]
      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 ...
    • First record of Wolbachia in South American terrestrial isopods : prevalence and diversity in two species of Balloniscus (Crustacea, Oniscidea) 

      Almerão, Maurício Pereira; Fagundes, Nelson Jurandi Rosa; Araujo, Paula Beatriz de; Verne, Sébastien; Grandjean, Frédéric; Bouchon, Didier; Araujo, Aldo Mellender de (2012) [Artigo de periódico]
      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 ...
    • Immunometabolic crosstalk in Aedes fluviatilis and Wolbachia pipientis symbiosis 

      Silva, Jhenifer N.; Calixto, Christiano; Brito, Gisely Cristina Ramos de; Daumas Filho, Carlos Renato de Oliveira; Silva, Ana Beatriz Walter Nuno da; Cunha, Octávio Augusto Talyuli da; Sampaio, Angélica Fernandes Arcanjo; Oliveira, Pedro Lagerblad de; Moreira, Luciano A.; Vaz Junior, Itabajara da Silva; Logullo, Carlos (2024) [Artigo de periódico]
      Wolbachia pipientis is a maternally transmitted symbiotic bacterium that mainly colonizes arthropods, potentially affecting different aspects of the host’s physiology, e.g., reproduction, immunity, and metabolism. It has ...
