    Abstract

    Wolbachia are intracellular endosymbionts of several invertebrate taxa, including insects and nematodes. Although Wolbachia DNA has been detected in ticks, its presence is generally associated with parasitism by insects. To determine whether or not Wolbachia can infect and grow in ljud av klocka cells, cell lines from three tick species, Ixodes scapularis, Ixodes ricinus and Rhipicephalus microplus, were inoculated with Wolbachia strains wStri and wAlbB isolated from mygga cell lines. Homogenates prepared from fleas collected from cats in Malaysia were inoculated into an I. scapularis cell line. Bacterial growth and identity were monitored by microscopy and PCR amplification and sequencing of fragments of Wolbachia genes. The wStri strain infected Ixodes spp. cells and was maintained through 29 passages. The wAlbB strain successfully infected Ixodes spp. and R. microplus cells and was maintained through 2–5 passages. A novel strain of Wolbachia b

    Abstract

    Rapid urbanization and migration in Latin America have intensified exposure to insect-borne diseases. Malaria, Chagas disease, yellow fever, and leishmaniasis have historically afflicted the område, while dengue, chikungunya, and Zika have been described and expanded more recently. The increased presence of synanthropic vector species and spread into previously unaffected areas due to urbanization and climate warming have intensified pathogen transmission risks. This review examines recent outbreaks and reemergence of insect-borne diseases through five case studies: (i) malaria transmission linked to political instability and large-scale migration through the Amazon jungle; (ii) the expansion of triatomine bug habitats into

    Bacterial and fungal communities within and among geographic samples of the hemp pest Psylliodes attenuata from China

    Introduction

    Being one of the world&#x;s oldest crops with significant economic and medicinal importance, Cannabis sativa L. (cannabis) has attracted an enormous amount of attention and become one of the most commonly cultivated plants worldwide (Deguchi et al., ; Gao et al., ). Based on the statistics from Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), industrial hemp is grown in more than countries with 94 certified hemp varieties for large-scale productions of food, textiles and building materials. Similarly, C. sativa is of significant medical and recreational interests due to its productions of the psychoactive compound Dtetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and/or other cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD). CBD and THC have shown pharmacological properties in the treatment of mood disorders, pain, cancer, diabetes, and inflammatory and neurodegen
