| [https://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Wolbachia ''Wolbachia''] is an endosymbiont that lives in many insects and arthropods. It also lives within [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brugia_malayi ''Brugia malayi''], a filarial nematodes, that can cause [https://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Lymphatic_Filariasis lymphatic filariasis] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onchocerciasis onchocerciasis ''Onchocerca volvulus''], different filarial nematode that causes [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onchocerciasis onchocerciasis]. Due to the symbiotic relationship that makes these organisms’ processes so specialized and heavily dependent on each other for survival, treatment of Wolbachia with antibiotics is a possible target for antifilarial activities. Thus recent research looks for new modes of action for novel antibiotis to treat filarial caused diseases to possibly prevent Wolbachia from reaching antibiotic resistance. This field is a rapidly growing research area with many more discoveries to be made and questions to answer.
