1. Gross morphology and ultrastructure of the female reproductive system of Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae)
The morphological traits of the female reproductive system of Diaphorina citri were examined in detail. Diaphorina citri has telotrophic ovaries with ovarioles organized as a "bouquet", displaying a rudimentary terminal filament and a syncytial tropharium. The vitellarium carries a single growing oocyte at each maturation cycle, which is connected with the t

2. Expression of phenazine biosynthetic genes during the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis of Glomus intraradices
To explore the molecular mechanisms that prevail during the establishment of the arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis involving the genus Glomus, we transcriptionally analysed spores of Glomus intraradices BE3 during early hyphal growth. Among 458 transcripts initially identified as being expressed at presymbiotic stages, 20% of sequences had homology to previous

3. Estudo da interação entre Aedes aegypti e Acanthamoeba polyphaga / Study of interaction between aedes aegypti and acanthamoeba polyphaga
A interação entre microrganismos endossimbiontes e mosquitos tem sido amplamente estudada. Tais estudos visam encontrar alternativas para o controle biológico de mosquitos vetores. Recentemente foi descrito que Acanthamoeba polyphaga é capaz de infectar Aedes aegypti, mosquito vetor do vírus da dengue. Visando entender melhor sobre esta interação, est

4. Distorção da proporção sexual induzida por Spiroplasma, um agente androcida, em Drosophila / Sex-ratio distortion induced by Spiroplasma, a male-killing agent, in Drosophila
Elementos citoplasmáticos egoístas (ECEs) sao bactérias que apresentam transmissão predominantemente vertical e se mantém na população hospedeira através do aumento relativo da produção de fêmeas infectadas. Nesses casos a seleção natural favorece mecanismos de manipulação da reprodução do hospedeiro (feminização, partenogênese, mortalida

5. Endossimbiose de Tetranychus evansi Baker e Pritchard (Acari: Tetranychidae) e a resposta de defesa induzida em tomateiro / Endosymbioses of Tetranychus evansi Baker and Pritchard (Acari: Tetranychidae) and tomato induced defence response
Interactions between arthropods and microorganisms have been receiving more attention due to the impact that these symbiotic associations causes on their macrosymbionts. Reproduction is the main biological parameters affected with cytoplasmic incompatibility and thelytokous parthenogenesis; however, endosymbionts can help arthropods to exploit host plants. I

6. Ultrastructure of the female reproductive system and mechanisms of transovarial transmission of endosymbionts of Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) / Ultraestrutura do aparelho reprodutor feminino e mecanismos de transmissão transovariana de endossimbiontes de Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae)
Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) tornou-se um psilídeo de grande importância para a citricultura paulista após a constatação da bactéria Candidatus Liberibacter sp., causadora do Huanglongbing (greening). Sabe-se que esse inseto abriga microrganismos endossimbiontes, os quais desempenham papel fundamental em sua ecologia nutricion

7. Presence of Wolbachia endosymbionts in microfilariae of Wuchereria bancrofti (Spirurida: Onchocercidae) from different geographical regions in India
In view of the recent discovery of rickettsial endosymbionts, Wolbachia in lymphatic filarial parasites, Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi and subsequently of their vital role in the survival and development of the latter, antibiotics such as tetracycline are being suggested for the treatment of lymphatic filariasis, by way of eliminating the endosymbio

8. Secondary (γ-Proteobacteria) Endosymbionts Infect the Primary (β-Proteobacteria) Endosymbionts of Mealybugs Multiple Times and Coevolve with Their Hosts
Mealybugs (Hemiptera, Coccoidea, Pseudococcidae) are plant sap-sucking insects that have within their body cavities specialized cells containing prokaryotic primary endosymbionts (P-endosymbionts). The P-endosymbionts have the unusual property of containing within their cytoplasm prokaryotic secondary endosymbionts (S-endosymbionts) [C. D. von Dohlen, S. Koh

9. Evidence for the establishment of aphid-eubacterium endosymbiosis in an ancestor of four aphid families.
Aphids (superfamily Aphidoidea) contain eubacterial endosymbionts localized within specialized cells (mycetocytes). The endosymbionts are essential for the survival of the aphid hosts. Sequence analyses of the 16S rRNAs from endosymbionts of 11 aphid species from seven tribes and four families have indicated that the endosymbionts are monophyletic. Furthermo

10. Genetic Variation among Endosymbionts of Widely Distributed Vestimentiferan Tubeworms
Vestimentiferan tubeworms thriving in sulfidic deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps are constrained by their nutritional reliance on chemoautotrophic endosymbionts. In a recent phylogenetic study using 16S ribosomal DNA, we found that endosymbionts from vent and seep habitats form two distinct clades with little variation within each clade. In the pres

11. Evolutionary Relationships of Primary Prokaryotic Endosymbionts of Whiteflies and Their Hosts
Whiteflies (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Aleyrodidae) are plant sap-sucking insects that harbor prokaryotic primary endosymbionts (P-endosymbionts) within specialized cells located in their body cavity. Four-kilobase DNA fragments containing 16S-23S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) were amplified from the P-endosymbiont of 24 whiteflies from 22 different species of 2 whit

12. 16S ribosomal DNA sequence identities of beta-proteobacterial endosymbionts in three Crithidia species.
The 16S ribosomal DNA sequences of endosymbionts from the trypanosomatid protozoa (Crithidia spp.) are most homologous to that of Bordetella spp. This finding extends the polyphyletic origin of endosymbionts for the first time to the beta Proteobacteria. Biased base transitions and compensatory mutations of the symbionts' sequences that may contribute to the
