Wolbachia pipientis: microbial manipulator of arthropod reproduction.

Annual review of microbiology - 1 Jan 1999

Stouthamer R, Breeuwer J A, Hurst G D

Abstract excerpt

The alpha-proteobacterium Wolbachia pipientis is a very common cytoplasmic symbiont of insects, crustaceans, mites, and filarial nematodes. To enhance its transmission, W. pipientis has evolved a large scale of host manipulations: parthenogenesis induction, feminization, and male killing. W. pipientis's most common effect is a crossing incompatibility between infected males and uninfected females. Little is known...
