No resistance to male-killing Wolbachia after thousands of years of infection.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Nov 2008

Jaenike J, Dyer K A

Abstract excerpt

Maternally transmitted male-killing endosymbionts can exert strong and relentless selection pressure on their hosts to evolve resistance to these infections. Surveys of current infection prevalence and mtDNA diversity indicate that Drosophila innubila is and has been infected with male-killing Wolbachia at moderate frequencies for extended evolutionary periods. Here, we use coalescent simulations to infer the...
