Comparative genomics of mutualistic viruses of Glyptapantelesparasitic wasps (2008)

Desjardins, Christopher A, Gundersen-Rindal, Dawn E, Hostetler, Jessica B, Tallon, Luke J, Fadrosh, Douglas W, Fuester, Roger W, ...

Abstract Background Polydnaviruses, double-stranded DNA viruses with segmented genomes, have evolved as obligate endosymbionts of parasitoid wasps. Virus particles are replication deficient and...

Enteric bacteria of field-collected Colorado potato beetle larvae inhibit growth of the entomopathogens Photorhabdus temperata and Beauveria bassiana (2008)

Blackburn, Michael B, Gundersen-Rindal, Dawn E, Weber, Donald C, Martin, Phyllis A. W

The nematode Heterorhabditis marelatus fails to reproduce in the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, possibly due to interference from the enteric bacteria of the beetle. Specifically,...

Desjardins, Christopher A, Gundersen-Rindal, Dawn E, Hostetler, Jessica B, Tallon, Luke J, Fuester, Roger W, Schatz, Michael C, ...

Abstract Background Bracoviruses (BVs), a group of double-stranded DNA viruses with segmented genomes, are mutualistic endosymbionts of parasitoid wasps. Virus particles are replication deficient and...

Desjardins, Christopher A, Gundersen-Rindal, Dawn E, Hostetler, Jessica B, Tallon, Luke J, Fadrosh, Douglas W, Fuester, Roger W, ...

Comparative genome analysis of two endosymbiotic polydnaviruses from Glyptapanteles parasitic wasps reveals new insights into the evolutionary arms race between host and parasite.
