serendipitous discovery of wolbachia genomes in multiple drosophila species.	the trace archive is a repository for the raw, unanalyzed data generated by large-scale genome sequencing projects. the existence of this data offers scientists the possibility of discovering additional genomic sequences beyond those originally sequenced. in particular, if the source dna for a sequencing project came from a species that was colonized by another organism, then the project may yield substantial amounts of genomic dna, including near-complete genomes, from the symbiotic or parasiti ...	2005	15774024
[polymorphism of mitochondrial dna and infection with symbiotic cytoplasmic bacterium wolbachia pipientis in mosquitoes of the culex pipiens complex from russia].	a total of 208 mosquitoes of the culex pipiens complex from 15 basement and terrestrial populations collected in different regions of the european part of russia and siberia were examined by genetic methods. among these, two major mitotypes, m and p, were identified. these mitotypes differed by six substitutions in the 246-bp mitochondrial dna cytochrome oxidase i gene fragment examined. urban basement mosquito ecotype c. pipiens (form molestus) were characterized by the presence of mitotype m a ...	2005	15865286
distribution, expression, and motif variability of ankyrin domain genes in wolbachia pipientis.	the endosymbiotic bacterium wolbachia pipientis infects a wide range of arthropods, in which it induces a variety of reproductive phenotypes, including cytoplasmic incompatibility (ci), parthenogenesis, male killing, and reversal of genetic sex determination. the recent sequencing and annotation of the first wolbachia genome revealed an unusually high number of genes encoding ankyrin domain (ank) repeats. these ank genes are likely to be important in mediating the wolbachia-host interaction. in ...	2005	16030207
can cytoplasmic incompatibility inducing wolbachia promote the evolution of mate preferences?	the maternally inherited bacterium, wolbachia pipientis, manipulates host reproduction by rendering uninfected females reproductively incompatible with infected males (cytoplasmic incompatibility, ci). hosts may evolve mechanisms, such as mate preferences, to avoid fitness costs of wolbachia infection. despite the potential importance of mate choice for wolbachia population dynamics, this possibility remains largely unexplored. here we model the spread of an allele encoding female mate preferenc ...	2005	16033569
evidence for a global wolbachia replacement in drosophila melanogaster.	wolbachia are maternally inherited intracellular alpha-proteobacteria found in numerous arthropod and filarial nematode species. they influence the biology of their hosts in many ways. in some cases, they act as obligate mutualists and are required for the normal development and reproduction of the host. they are best known, however, for the various reproductive parasitism traits that they can generate in infected hosts. these include cytoplasmic incompatibility (ci) between individuals of diffe ...	2005	16085497

delusional reduplication following closed-head injury.	somatic delusions following brain injury are not uncommon, and have been well documented in the literature. this study documents a case of somatic delusion which was seen in a patient following a head injury secondary to a motorcycle accident. although perhaps not typical it serves to illustrate an interesting example of a somatic delusion following head trauma. on recovery from coma this patient reported the existence of a 'third arm' adjacent to the limb that had received the greatest impact i ...	2006	1393179
wolbachia infection reduces sperm competitive ability in an insect.	the maternally inherited bacterium wolbachia pipientis imposes significant fitness costs on its hosts. one such cost is decreased sperm production resulting in reduced fertility of male drosophila simulans infected with cytoplasmic incompatibility (ci) inducing wolbachia. we tested the hypothesis that wolbachia infection affects sperm competitive ability and found that wolbachia infection is indeed associated with reduced success in sperm competition in non-virgin males. in the second male role, ...	2006	16777737
feminizing wolbachia in zyginidia pullula (insecta, hemiptera), a leafhopper with an xx/x0 sex-determination system.	zyginidia pullula is a grass-dwelling leafhopper characterized by a bisexual reproduction mode. in this species, some females collected in northern italy, when mated with males, gave origin to an exclusively female brood. here, we demonstrated that in these lineages an infection by a new strain of wolbachia pipientis-designated as wzygpul-was detected by amplifying and sequencing the wsp and 16s rrna genes. about half of the female progeny were characterized by intersexual phenotypes, i.e. showi ...	2006	16928646
rate of elimination of wolbachia pipientis by doxycycline in vitro increases following drug withdrawal.	wolbachia pipientis is an obligate intracellular bacterium within the family anaplasmataceae that infects many terrestrial arthropods and arthropod-transmitted nematodes (filariae). several filarial species are major human pathogens, and antibiotics with activity against wolbachia offer a promising new therapeutic approach, since the adult worms are relatively refractory to conventional anthelmintics but depend on wolbachia for reproduction and viability. in a natural filarial parasite of cattle ...	2006	16495252
wolbachia endosymbiotic bacteria of brugia malayi mediate macrophage tolerance to tlr- and cd40-specific stimuli in a myd88/tlr2-dependent manner.	lymphatic filarial nematodes are able to down-regulate parasite-specific and nonspecific responses of lymphocytes and apc. lymphatic filariae are reliant on wolbachia endosymbiotic bacteria for development and survival. we tested the hypothesis that repeated exposure to wolbachia endosymbionts would drive macrophage tolerance in vitro and in vivo. we pre-exposed murine peritoneal-elicited macrophages to soluble extracts of brugia malayi female worms (bmfe) before restimulating with bmfe or tlr a ...	2006	16818783
multilocus sequence typing system for the endosymbiont wolbachia pipientis.	the eubacterial genus wolbachia comprises one of the most abundant groups of obligate intracellular bacteria, and it has a host range that spans the phyla arthropoda and nematoda. here we developed a multilocus sequence typing (mlst) scheme as a universal genotyping tool for wolbachia. internal fragments of five ubiquitous genes (gatb, coxa, hcpa, fbpa, and ftsz) were chosen, and primers that amplified across the major wolbachia supergroups found in arthropods, as well as other divergent lineage ...	2006	16936055
asymmetrical interactions between wolbachia and spiroplasma endosymbionts coexisting in the same insect host.	we investigated the interactions between the endosymbionts wolbachia pipientis strain wmel and spiroplasma sp. strain nsro coinfecting the host insect drosophila melanogaster. by making use of antibiotic therapy, temperature stress, and hemolymph microinjection, we established the following strains in the same host genetic background: the sw strain, infected with both spiroplasma and wolbachia; the s strain, infected with spiroplasma only; and the w strain, infected with wolbachia only. the infe ...	2006	16820474
survival of wolbachia pipientis in cell-free medium.	wolbachia pipientis is an obligate intracellular bacterium found in a wide range of invertebrate taxa. while over ecological timescales wolbachia infections are maintained by strict maternal inheritance, horizontal transfer events are common over evolutionary time. to be horizontally transferred between organisms, wolbachia bacteria must pass through and survive an extracellular phase. we used baclight live-dead staining, pcr, and fluorescence in situ hybridization to assess the ability for puri ...	2006	16950898
can anopheles gambiae be infected with wolbachia pipientis? insights from an in vitro system.	wolbachia pipientis are maternally inherited endosymbionts associated with cytoplasmic incompatibility, a potential mechanism to drive transgenic traits into anopheles populations for malaria control. w. pipientis infections are common in many mosquito genera but have never been observed in any anopheles species, leading to the hypothesis that anopheles mosquitoes are incapable of harboring infection. we used an in vitro system to evaluate the ability of anopheles gambiae cells to harbor diverse ...	2006	17028229
toward a wolbachia multilocus sequence typing system: discrimination of wolbachia strains present in drosophila species.	among the diverse maternally inherited symbionts in arthropods, wolbachia are the most common and infect over 20% of all species. in a departure from traditional genotyping or phylogenetic methods relying on single wolbachia genes, the present study represents an initial multilocus sequence typing (mlst) analysis to discriminate closely related wolbachia pipientis strains, and additional data on sequence diversity in wolbachia. we report a new phylogenetic characterization of four genes (aspc, a ...	2006	17036209
increased male mating rate in drosophila is associated with wolbachia infection.	the maternally inherited bacterium wolbachia pipientis infects 25-75% of arthropods and manipulates host reproduction to improve its transmission. one way wolbachia achieves this is by inducing cytoplasmic incompatibility (ci), where crosses between infected males and uninfected females are inviable. infected males suffer reduced fertility through ci and reduced sperm production. however, wolbachia induce lower levels of ci in nonvirgin males. we examined the impact of wolbachia on mating behavi ...	2006	17040394

taxonomic status of the intracellular bacterium wolbachia pipientis.	wolbachia pipientis is a maternally inherited, intracellular bacterium found in more than 20 % of all insects, as well as numerous other arthropods and filarial nematodes. it has been the subject of a growing number of studies in recent decades, because of the remarkable effects it has on its arthropod hosts, its potential as a tool for biological control of arthropods of agricultural and medical importance and its use as a target for treatment of filariasis. w. pipientis was originally discover ...	2007	17329802
anthraquinones as defensive compounds in eggs of galerucini leaf beetles: biosynthesis by the beetles?	eggs of leaf beetles of the tribe galerucini, subfamily galerucinae, contain polyketides that are unusual in insects: 1,8-dihydroxylated anthraquinones (chrysazin, chrysophanol) and anthrones (dithranol, chrysarobin) deterring predators. the host plants do not contain these compounds. in the present study, we tested the hypothesis that the beetles, but not bacterial or fungal microorganisms living as endosymbionts within the beetles, produce the anthraquinones. the tansy leaf beetle galeruca tan ...	2007	17879233
symbiont genes in host genomes: fragments with a future?	while lateral transfer is the rule in the evolutionary history of bacterial and archaeal genes, events of transfer from prokaryotes to eukaryotes are rare. germline-transmitted animal symbionts, such as wolbachia pipientis, are well placed to participate in such transfers. in a recent issue of science, dunning hotopp et al. identified instances of transfer of wolbachia dna to host genomes. it is unknown whether these transfers represent innovation in animal evolution.	2007	18005738
f supergroup wolbachia in bush crickets: what do patterns of sequence variation reveal about this supergroup and horizontal transfer between nematodes and arthropods?	wolbachia pipientis, an intracellular, alpha-proteobacterium, is commonly found in arthropods and filarial nematodes. most infected insects are known to harbor strains of wolbachia from supergroups a or b, whereas supergroups c and d occur only in filarial nematodes. here, we present molecular evidence from two genes (ftsz and 16s rdna) that 2 orthopterans (the bush cricket species orocharis saltator and hapithus agitator; gryllidae: eneopterinae) are infected with wolbachia from the f supergrou ...	2007	16924406
population replacement strategies for controlling vector populations and the use of wolbachia pipientis for genetic drive.	in this video, jason rasgon discusses population replacement strategies to control vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue.

fine-structural aspects of bromodeoxyuridine incorporation in sister chromatid differentiation and replication banding.	the structure of harlequin-stained chromosomes following substitution with low levels of 5-bromodeoxyuridine (brdurd) over two cell cycles and high levels over the last part of one cycle (replication banding) was studied in chinese hamster ovary (cho) cells. by using correlative light (lm) and scanning electron microscopy (sem), it was shown that the effects of both the ultraviolet light (u.v.) and hot ssc treatment steps of the harlequin staining procedure were necessary to obtain sister-chroma ...	2008	2621225
cystoid macular edema: a postoperative complication.	cystoid macular edema (cme) is a condition of the macula characterized by an accumulation of fluid in the outer plexiform layer of henle, causing edema and cyst-like formations. the major presenting symptom of visually significant cme is a decrease in visual acuity; a fundus examination may or may not reveal the presence of cme. fluorescein angiography is used to confirm the presence of suspected cme. most cases of cme improve after a course of indomethacin; but the patient must continue to be f ...	2008	2374166
ovarian and adrenal function in the parthenogenetic whiptail lizard cnemidophorus uniparens in the field and laboratory.	the purpose of this study was to document circulating concentrations of corticosterone in the plasma in relation to the ovarian follicular cycle in animals in the field and to examine the effects of captivity and laboratory manipulations on plasma corticosterone in the parthenogenetic whiptail lizard cnemidophorus uniparens. in nature, circulating concentrations of corticosterone are highest in previtellogenic individuals when concentrations of progesterone are basal and estradiol-17 beta is und ...	2008	2583474
