Phenotype and transmission efficiency of artificial and natural male-killing Spiroplasma infections in Drosophila melanogaster.

Journal of invertebrate pathology - 1 Feb 2012

Abstract excerpt

Many insect species carry inherited Spiroplasma bacteria which act as important partners and antagonists. The nature of symbioses between Spiroplasma and insects has been most extensively studied in the interaction between male-killing Spiroplasma infection and Drosophila melanogaster. For historical reasons, these studies have largely focussed on the Spiroplasma strain known as NSRO, derived from Drosophila...
