Research on Wolbachia endosymbiont (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) associated with insects in Malaysia: trends and prospects
Wolbachia is a gram-negative bacterium from the family Anaplasmataceae and can be found in almost 70% of arthropods. This bacterium can alter the reproductive system of its hosts through four known effects such as Cytoplasmic Incompatibility (CI), male-killing, feminization and Parthenogenesis...

| description | Wolbachia is a gram-negative bacterium from the family Anaplasmataceae and can be found
in almost 70% of arthropods. This bacterium can alter the reproductive system of its hosts
through four known effects such as Cytoplasmic Incompatibility (CI), male-killing,
feminization and Parthenogenesis Inducing (PI). Besides, this bacterium has also been proven
to block the transmission of dengue and chikungunya viruses from its mosquito hosts to human.
Due to its ability to manipulate the reproductive system of the host and block virus transmission
to human, Wolbachia gains new interest to be studied. This review discusses the ascending
trends and prospects of Wolbachia research in medical, entomological, and agricultural aspects
in Malaysia. Wolbachia data from the first record until the current one was discussed. The
positive developments and interests of Wolbachia research are reviewed for the future
references of epidemiologists and agriculturists in Malaysia. |
