Social parasitism in fire ants (Solenopsis spp.): a potential mechanism for interspecies transfer of Wolbachia.

Molecular ecology - 1 Apr 2005

Dedeine Franck, Ahrens Michael, Calcaterra Luis, Shoemaker D Dewayne

Abstract excerpt

One possible mechanism for interspecific transfer of Wolbachia is through the intimate contact between parasites and their hosts. We surveyed 10 species of fly parasitoids (Pseudacteon spp.) and one inquiline social parasite, Solenopsis daguerrei, for the presence and sequence identity (wsp gene)...
