Wolbachia infections in native and introduced populations of fire ants (Solenopsis spp.).

Insect molecular biology - 1 Dec 2000

Shoemaker D D, Ross K G, Keller L, Vargo E L, Werren J H

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia are cytoplasmically inherited bacteria that induce a variety of effects with fitness consequences on host arthropods, including cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis, male-killing and feminization. We report here the presence of Wolbachia in native South American populations of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta, but the apparent absence of the bacteria in introduced populations of this pest species...
