Wolbachia utilize host actin for efficient maternal transmission in Drosophila melanogaster.

PLoS pathogens - 1 Apr 2015

Newton Irene L G, Savytskyy Oleksandr, Sheehan Kathy B

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia pipientis is a ubiquitous, maternally transmitted bacterium that infects the germline of insect hosts. Estimates are that Wolbachia infect nearly 40% of insect species on the planet, making it the most prevalent infection on Earth. The bacterium, infamous for the reproductive phenotypes it induces in arthropod hosts, has risen to recent prominence due to its use in vector control. Wolbachia infection...
