The recent spread of a vertically transmitted virus through populations of Drosophila melanogaster.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2007

Carpenter Jennifer A, Obbard Darren J, Maside Xulio, Jiggins Francis M

Abstract excerpt

The sigma virus is a vertically transmitted pathogen that commonly infects natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster. This virus is the only known host-specific pathogen of D. melanogaster, and so offers a unique opportunity to study the genetics of Drosophila-viral interactions in a natural system. To elucidate the population genetic processes that operate in sigma virus populations, we collected D....
