Mutualism breakdown by amplification of Wolbachia genes.

PLoS biology - 1 Feb 2015

Chrostek Ewa, Teixeira Luis

Abstract excerpt

Most insect species are associated with vertically transmitted endosymbionts. Because of the mode of transmission, the fitness of these symbionts is dependent on the fitness of the hosts. Therefore, these endosymbionts need to control their proliferation in order to minimize their cost for the host. The genetic bases and mechanisms of this regulation remain largely undetermined. The maternally inherited bacteria...
