Low temperature reveals genetic variability against male-killing Spiroplasma in Drosophila melanogaster natural populations.

Microbial ecology - 1 Jan 2014

Ventura Iuri Matteuzzo, Costa Thais, Klaczko Louis Bernard

Abstract excerpt

Spiroplasma endosymbionts are maternally inherited microorganisms which infect many arthropod species. In some Drosophila species, it acts as a reproductive manipulator, spreading in populations by killing the sons of infected mothers. Distinct Drosophila melanogaster populations from Brazil exhibit variable male-killing Spiroplasma prevalences. In this study, we investigated the presence of variability for the...
