Widespread Prevalence of Wolbachia in Laboratory Stocks and the Implications for Drosophila Research

4 Jun 2005

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia is an intracellular microbe harbored by a wide variety of arthropods (including Drosophila) and filarial nematodes. Employing several different strategies including male killing, induced parthenogenesis, cytoplasmic incompatibility, and feminization, and acting by as-yet-unknown mechanisms, Wolbachia alters host reproduction to increase its representation within a population. Wolbachia is closely...
