The global impact of Wolbachia on mitochondrial diversity and evolution.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Dec 2017

Cariou M, Duret L, Charlat S

Abstract excerpt

The spread of maternally inherited microorganisms, such as Wolbachia bacteria, can induce indirect selective sweeps on host mitochondria, to which they are linked within the cytoplasm. The resulting reduction in effective population size might lead to smaller mitochondrial diversity and reduced efficiency of natural selection. While documented in several host species, it is currently unclear if such a scenario is...
