The #spider #Philodromus #cespitum has a #Holarctic #distribution, is an active #hunter, and is flexible in its choice of prey. Adults exhibit a distinct 24-hour rhythm dictated by circadian pacemakers. M. Řezáč et al. (2025) found that #endosymbiotic #bacteria (specifically #Wolbachia, #Rickettsia, and #Spiroplasma) can underlie the spider's resistance to insecticides.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: #Google’s Debug program, with #Monash University and #mosquito control districts, applied for an #EPA permit to release 64 million male #Culex mosquitoes in #California and #Florida. 🦟
The males carry #Wolbachia #bacteria, making their offspring non-viable. Only females bite, so no biting mosquitoes are added. 🦠

Debugging: #Google requests permission to release 32m #mosquitoes in #California and #Florida
Company asks US government to release army of sterile male mosquitoes to lower number of illness-spreading bugs
Male mosquitoes don’t bite or carry disease. One of the main approaches Google is testing involves rearing male mosquitoes with a naturally occurring bacteria, called #wolbachia, which stops them from having offspring with wild female mosquitoes.

"[Hannah Ritchie] In this article, I’ll focus on how Wolbachia can be used against dengue fever. I'll examine how this innovative new method works, how effective it is in reducing transmission, and how it can be rolled out across the tropics to protect as many people as possible."

In our study “Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered?” https://doi.org/10.1111/1758-2229.70040 we summarise the diversity of terrestrial #invertebrates and discuss why #Wolbachia - the common #endosymbiont of invertebrates was not found in #Antarctica. Literature and in silico search did not show the presence of Wolbachia in samples collected in Antarctica. Samples of species which are prevalent in Antarctica but collected on other continents can be infected with Wolbachia.

Recordatorio irregular: hay una técnica de control biológico contra el mosquito que transmite el dengue y otras pestes MUY efectiva, ya ensayada en Indonesia, Colombia y Brasil.
Y si tuviéramos un gobierno mínimamente decente, se podría haber combinado con un juicioso plan de vacunación para atajar esta epidemia del carajo.
Sí, esta asistencia técnica también vamos a tener que importarla, a lo mejor incluso los mismos mosquitos troyanizados, en lugar de desarrollar y producir acá.
