Wolbachia-mediated male killing is associated with defective chromatin remodeling.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Riparbelli Maria Giovanna, Giordano Rosanna, Ueyama Morio, Callaini Giuliano

Abstract excerpt

Male killing, induced by different bacterial taxa of maternally inherited microorganisms, resulting in highly distorted female-biased sex-ratios, is a common phenomenon among arthropods. Some strains of the endosymbiont bacteria Wolbachia have been shown to induce this phenotype in particular insect hosts. High altitude populations of Drosophila bifasciata infected with Wolbachia show selective male killing...
