Misdirection of dosage compensation underlies bidirectional sex-specific death in Wolbachia-infected Ostrinia scapulalis.

Abstract excerpt

Endosymbiotic bacteria of the genus Wolbachia often manipulate the reproductive system of their hosts to propagate themselves in host populations. Ostrinia scapulalis moths infected with Wolbachia (wSca) produce female-only progeny (sex chromosomes: ZW), whereas females cured of the infection by antibiotic treatment produce male-only progeny (ZZ). The occurrence of female- and male-only progeny has been...
