A systems biology approach for studying Wolbachia metabolism reveals points of interaction with its host in the context of arboviral infection.
Wolbachia are alpha-proteobacteria known to infect arthropods, which are of interest for disease control since they have been associated with improved resistance to viral infection. Although several genomes for different strains have been sequenced, there is little knowledge regarding the relationsh...
