Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia , a group of endosymbiotic bacteria in arthropods, alter the reproduction of their hosts in various ways. A Wolbachia strain (wSca) naturally infecting the adzuki bean borer moth Ostrinia scapulalis induces male killing, while another strain (wKue) infecting the Mediterranean flour moth...
