“…More importantly, it is a well-documented example of the implication of Wolbachia in restriction in gene flow and enhancement of incompatibility between natural populations of the species (Riegler and Stauffer 2002). Other Rhagoletis species that seem to have persistent and multiple strain infections (although less populations are studied) are Rhagoletis pomonella (Schuler et al 2011) and Rhagoletis cingulata (Drosopoulou et al 2011a, Schuler et al 2013), along with some Rhagoletis species of Japan (Coats et al 2013). Outside Rhagoletis , the only species demonstrating persistent Wolbachia infections is Anastrepha fraterculus , (Selivon et al 2002, Cáceres et al 2009, Coscrato et al 2009, Marcon et al 2011, Martinez et al 2012).…”

The Bactrocera dorsalis species complex, currently comprising about 90 entities has received much attention. During the last decades, considerable effort has been devoted to delimiting the species of the complex. This information is of great importance for agriculture and world trade, since the complex harbours several pest species of major economic importance and other species that could evolve into global threats. Speciation in Diptera is usually accompanied by chromosomal rearrangements, particularly inversions that are assumed to reduce/eliminate gene flow. Other candidates currently receiving much attention regarding their possible involvement in speciation are reproductive symbionts, such as Wolbachia, Spiroplasma, Arsenophonus, Rickettsia and Cardinium. Such symbionts tend to spread quickly through natural populations and can cause a variety of phenotypes that promote pre-mating and/or post-mating isolation and, in addition, can affect the biology, physiology, ecology and evolution of their insect hosts in various ways. Considering all these aspects, we present: (a) a summary of the recently gained knowledge on the cytogenetics of five members of the Bactrocera dorsalis complex, namely Bactrocera dorsalis s.s., Bactrocera invadens, Bactrocera philippinensis, Bactrocera papayae and Bactrocera carambolae, supplemented by additional data from a Bactrocera dorsalis s.s. colony from China, as well as by a cytogenetic comparison between the dorsalis complex and the genetically close species, Bactrocera tryoni, and, (b) a reproductive symbiont screening of 18 different colonized populations of these five taxa. Our analysis did not reveal any chromosomal rearrangements that could differentiate among them. Moreover, screening for reproductive symbionts was negative for all colonies derived from different geographic origins and/or hosts. There are many different factors that can lead to speciation, and our data do not support chromosomal and/or symbiotic-based speciation phenomena in the taxa under study.

“…Wolbachia can interfere with pathogen infection and inhibit some human pathogens, such as dengue and Zika viruses, malaria parasites, and filarial worms (Kambris et al 2009;Moreira et al 2009;Bian et al 2010Bian et al , 2013Dutra et al 2016). Wolbachia also infect many genera of tephritid fruit flies, including Anastrepha, Bactrocera, Rhagoletis, Dacus, Ceratitis, and Carypomya (Jamnongluk et al 2002;Riegler & Stauffer 2002;Arthofer et al 2009;Coscrato et al 2009;Schuler et al 2011Schuler et al , 2013Augustinos et al 2013Augustinos et al , 2015Coats et al 2013;Karimi & Darsouei 2014;Morrow et al 2015). Zabalou et al (2004) transinfected cytoplasmic incompatibility-Wolbachia from Rhagoletis cerasi (L.) to Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (both Diptera: Tephritidae), and Wolbachia induced complete cytoplasmic incompatibility in the novel host, leading to complete suppression of laboratory populations by single releases of infected males.…”

Background: Psoriasis is a persistent immune system disorder that influences the skin, leading to red, flaky patches that can be painful and irritated. Objective: Traditional treatments for psoriasis, such as topical creams and oral medications, may be effective but also have potential side effects. Herbal remedies have been used for centuries to treat skin conditions, and advancements in nanotechnology have led to the development of herbal nanoformulations that offer several advantages over traditional herbal remedies, such as efficacy, safety, and targeted delivery. Methods: The studies and reviews published under the title were looked up in several databases (including PubMed, Elsevier, and Google Scholar). Results: Several herbal nanoformulations, including those containing curcumin, aloe vera, and neem, have been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory impacts, which will be useful within the treatment of psoriasis. However, more study is required to decide the efficacy and safety of these details, as well as the optimal dosing, duration of treatment, and potential side effects. Conclusion: Overall, herbal nanoformulations represent a promising area of research for the treatment of psoriasis, and may offer a safe and effective alternative or adjunct therapy to conventional treatments. This review article summarizes the present state of information for the herbal nanoformulations role in the treatment of psoriasis and their future perspectives.
