Evidence for a new feminizing Wolbachia strain in the isopod Armadillidium vulgare: evolutionary implications.

Heredity - 1 Jul 2004

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia are intracellular maternally inherited alpha-Proteobacteria infecting a wide range of arthropods. In the common pill bug Armadillidium vulgare, the known Wolbachia strain is responsible for feminization of genetic males. We have investigated Wolbachia diversity in 20 populations of A. vulgare from west and east Europe, north Africa and north America. A new Wolbachia strain (wVulM) was identified through...
