Decreased diversity but increased substitution rate in host mtDNA as a consequence of Wolbachia endosymbiont infection.

Genetics - 1 Dec 2004

Shoemaker D DeWayne, Dyer Kelly A, Ahrens Mike, McAbee Kevin, Jaenike John

Abstract excerpt

A substantial fraction of insects and other terrestrial arthropods are infected with parasitic, maternally transmitted endosymbiotic bacteria that manipulate host reproduction. In addition to imposing direct selection on the host to resist these effects, endosymbionts may also have indirect effects on the evolution of the mtDNA with which they are cotransmitted. Patterns of mtDNA diversity and evolution were...
