Webinar Series:
Wolbachia Biology, Mechanisms and Applications 2022
October 12, 19, 26, November 9, 23, 2022
11 am- 12:30pm (Washington, D.C.)
This is s series of 5 webinars by experts in the field in which key aspects of the biology of Wolbachia are explored such as Cytoplasmic Incompatibility and Anti-Virus effects. In addition the genomic interactions arising from the close association of these intracellular bacteria are explored and the biology of Wolbachia in populations. Finally, these studies are driven in part by the potential Wolbachia has to serve as an agent of insect control – particularly vectors of human pathogenic viruses.
