Extreme divergence of Wolbachia tropism for the stem-cell-niche in the Drosophila testis.

PLoS pathogens - 1 Dec 2014

Toomey Michelle E, Frydman Horacio M

Abstract excerpt

Microbial tropism, the infection of specific cells and tissues by a microorganism, is a fundamental aspect of host-microbe interactions. The intracellular bacteria Wolbachia have a peculiar tropism for the stem cell niches in the Drosophila ovary, the microenvironments that support the cells producing the eggs. The molecular underpinnings of Wolbachia stem cell niche tropism are unknown. We have previously shown...
