Male-killing Wolbachia in Drosophila: a temperature-sensitive trait with a threshold bacterial density.

Genetics - 1 Oct 2000

Hurst G D, Johnson A P, Schulenburg J H, Fuyama Y

Abstract excerpt

Inherited microorganisms that disturb the reproduction of their host have been characterized from a number of host taxa. To understand the general principles underlying the genetic and mechanistic basis of interactions, study of different agents in model host species is required. To this end, the nature and genetics of the maternally inherited sex-ratio trait of Drosophila bifasciata were investigated. Successful...
