Native microbiome impedes vertical transmission of <i>Wolbachia</i> in <i>Anopheles</i> mosquitoes
11 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
Over evolutionary time, Wolbachia has been repeatedly transferred between host species contributing to the widespread distribution of the symbiont in arthropods. For novel infections to be maintained, Wolbachia must infect the female germ line after being acquired by horizontal transfer. Although mechanistic examples of horizontal transfer exist, there is a poor understanding of factors that lead to successful...
