Wolbachia interactions that determine Drosophila melanogaster survival.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Oct 2002

Fry Adam J, Rand David M

Abstract excerpt

We have recently described a mutualistic symbiosis in which Wolbachia bacteria were shown to improve the fitness of some Drosophila melanogaster stocks. Wolbachia did not extend longevity in all Drosophila genotypes, even though 16s rDNA sequences indicated that our Drosophila stocks were infecte...
