This project aims to identify the genes that enable symbiotic relationships between bacteria and insects, focusing on a specific bacterium that affects wasp reproduction. Understanding these genes could lead to innovative strategies for controlling vector-borne diseases.
Bacterial endosymbionts are widely distributed amongst invertebrates and have an enormous impact upon the biology of their hosts, being responsible for nutrient acquisition, predator protection and interference with the host reproductive strategies.
Their ability to reduce vector competence has raised the possibility of using endosymbionts as a strategy to eliminate or diminish vector-borne pathogen transmission to humans and plants. A crucial step in manipulation of symbionts is the elucidation…
