    The Wolbachia cytoplasmic incompatibility enzyme CidB targets nuclear import and protamine-histone exchange factors

    John Frederick Beckmann, Gagan Deep Sharma ... Mark Hochstrasser
    Genetic and proteomic screening with Wolbachia's CidB enzyme reveal the mechanisms and targets of cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI).

    Wolbachia action in the sperm produces developmentally deferred chromosome segregation defects during the Drosophila mid-blastula transition

    Brandt Warecki, Simon William Abraham Titen ... William Sullivan
    Differentiation of mitotic errors occurring during late embryonic development from the well-characterized first division defects provides new insight into the mechanisms of Wolbachia-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility.

    Tissue-specific modulation of gene expression in response to lowered insulin signalling in Drosophila

    Luke Stephen Tain, Robert Sehlke ... Linda Partridge
    Multi-omic profiling of gene expression in response to reduced insulin/IGF-like-signalling reveals tissue-specific regulation of DNA damage and lysosomal mannosidase regulation of tissue homeostasis as pro-longevity responses.

    A single synonymous nucleotide change impacts the male-killing phenotype of prophage WO gene wmk

    Jessamyn I Perlmutter, Jane E Meyers, Seth R Bordenstein

    Modeling the metabolic interplay between a parasitic worm and its bacterial endosymbiont allows the identification of novel drug targets

    David M Curran, Alexandra Grote ... John Parkinson
    A genome scale model of Brugia malayi metabolism illustrates a dynamic reliance on energy production pathways across its life cycle and identifies new drugs with experimentally supported anti-parasitic properties.

    Symbiont-mediated cytoplasmic incompatibility: What have we learned in 50 years?

    J Dylan Shropshire, Brittany Leigh, Seth R Bordenstein
    This review serves as a gateway to experimental, conceptual, and quantitative themes of cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) and outlines significant gaps in the understanding of CI's mechanism that are ripe for investigation.

    Single mosquito metatranscriptomics identifies vectors, emerging pathogens and reservoirs in one assay

    Joshua Batson, Gytis Dudas ... Hanna Retallack
    How large-scale single mosquito metatranscriptomics can define the mosquito’s complex microbiota and its blood meal sources, and contribute critical epidemiological information needed to control vector borne disease transmission, is shown.

    Community Engagement: Listen to the shopkeeper

    Rafael Maciel-de-Freitas
    His mosquito control project heading for failure, a field entomologist recalls how a chance encounter led to a Eureka moment.
