Sorting out the effects of Wolbachia, genotype and inbreeding on life-history traits of a spider mite.

Experimental & applied acarology - 1 Jan 2003

Vala F, Breeuwer J A J, Sabelis M W

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia bacteria manipulate host reproduction by inducing cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) and sex ratio distortion. Wolbachia are transmitted from mother to offspring through the cytoplasm of the egg. Therefore, reproduction of Wolbachia is tightly coupled to reproduction of its host. Mathematical analysis predicts that in the course of evolution, traits that reduce the physiological costs of the infection...
