Recently introduced Wolbachia reduces bacterial species richness and reshapes bacterial community structure in Nilaparvata lugens.

Background: Wolbachia has been developed as an effective tool to suppress insect pests and arbovirus transmission. Recently, the brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens, a serious agricultural pest, has been successfully transinfected with Wolbachia wStri strain from Laodelphax striatellus. However, before conducting the field experiments, the impacts of wStri on the bacterial microbiota in N.

Two Newly Introduced Endosymbionts Induce Cell Host Differences in Competitiveness and Metabolic Responses.

endosymbionts can induce multiple reproductive manipulations in their hosts, with cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) being one of the most common manipulations. Two important agricultural pests, the white-backed planthopper (Sogatella furcifera) and the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens), are usually infected with CI-inducing strain Fur and non-CI-inducing strain Lug, respectively. The biological effects of these infections when present in a host cell are unknown.

Newly introduced Cardinium endosymbiont reduces microbial diversity in the rice brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens.

Symbiotic microorganisms in invertebrates play vital roles in host ecology and evolution. Cardinium, a common intracellular symbiont, is transinfected into the important agricultural pest Nilaparvata lugens (rice brown planthopper) to regulate its reproduction, but how this impacts its microbial community is unknown. Here, we characterized the bacterial microbiota from N.

Stable Establishment of spp. in the Brown Planthopper Nilaparvata lugens despite Decreased Host Fitness.

The brown planthopper (Hemiptera) is a major pest of rice crops in Asia. Artificial transinfections of have recently been used for reducing host impacts, but transinfections have not yet been undertaken with another important endosymbiont, This endosymbiont can manipulate the reproduction of hosts through phenotypes such as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), which is strong in the related white-backed planthopper, (Hemiptera). Here, we stably infected with from and showed that it exhibits perfect maternal transmission in The density of varied across developmental stages and tissues of the transinfected host.

Antibiotic exposure perturbs the bacterial community in the small brown planthopper Laodelphax striatellus.

Bacteria symbionts in herbivores play an important role in host biology and ecology, and are affected by environmental factors such as temperature, diet, habitat, antibiotics and so on. However, the effects of antibiotics on the microbiome of the small brown planthopper Laodelphax striatellus (SBPH) remain unclear. Here, we studied the effects of tetracycline on the diversity and composition of bacterial colonies in different tissues of SBPH using high throughput sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA amplicons.

[Clinical observation on auxiliary treatment of hormone dependence dermatitis by shufeng liangxue decoction].

Objective: To study the clinical efficacy of Shufeng Liangxue Decoction (SLD) in treating hormone dependence dermatitis (HDD).

Methods: One hundred and sixteen patients with HDD were randomly assigned to two groups. Both were treated with symptomatic Western medical therapy, including oral taken of loratadine 10 mg, and intravenous injection of 10% calglucon 10 mL and vitamin C 3.
