Insect symbiosis and bacterial influences

This cluster of papers explores the diverse interactions between insects and their microbial symbionts, with a focus on the role of Wolbachia and other bacterial endosymbionts in shaping insect biology, evolution, and vector competence. The papers cover topics such as genome evolution, host-pathogen interactions, symbiont-mediated protection, and the potential for using symbionts for insect pest and disease control.
