No detectable effect of Wolbachia w Mel on the prevalence and abundance of the RNA virome of Drosophila melanogaster
25 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Wolbachia is an endosymbiotic bacterium that can block viral infections in arthropods, generating interest in its potential to control the spread of mosquito-borne disease. Drosophila melanogaster is model organism for Wolbachia infection, and the w Mel strain of Wolbachia can improve host survival following viral infection. However, it is unclear whether w Mel induces anti-viral blocking against the broader...
