  • Evidence for horizontal transmission of secondary Endosymbionts in the Bemisia tabaci cryptic species complex 
    Ahmed, Muhammad Zaheerudin; De Barro, P.J. (Paul Joseph), 1963-; Ren, Shun-Xiang; Greeff, Jaco M. (Jacobus Maree); Qiu, Bao-Li (Public Library of Science, 2013-01-07)
    Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a globally distributed pest composed of at least 34 morphologically indistinguishable cryptic species. At least seven species of endosymbiont have been found infecting some or ...
  • Inactivation of Wolbachia reveals its biological roles in whitefly host 
    Xue, Xia; Li, Shao-Jian; Ahmed, Muhammad Zaheerudin; De Barro, P.J. (Paul Joseph), 1963-; Ren, Shun-Xiang; Qiu, Bao-Li; Zilberstein, Dan (Public Library of Science, 2012-10-29)
    BACKGROUND: The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is cryptic species complex composed of numerous species. Individual species from the complex harbor a diversity of bacterial endosymbionts including Wolbachia. However, while Wolbachia ...
  • The intracellular bacterium Wolbachia uses parasitoid wasps as phoretic vectors for efficient horizontal transmission 
    Ahmed, Muhammad Zaheerudin; Li, Shao-Jian; Xue, Xia; Yin, Xiang-Jie; Ren, Shun-Xiang; Jiggins, Francis M.; Greeff, Jaco M. (Jacobus Maree); Qiu, Bao-Li (Public Library of Science, 2015-02)
    Facultative bacterial endosymbionts are associated with many arthropods and are primarily transmitted vertically from mother to offspring. However, phylogenetic affiliations suggest that horizontal transmission must also ...
