Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Endosymbiotic bacteria of the genus Spiroplasma (Mollicutes) are widespread among arthropods and plants with some lineages inducing male killing in several insect hosts. In the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, three divergent clades of Spiroplasma ixodetis have been described, but male killing has been so far reported in only one clade. Here, we aimed to assess the distribution of male-killing...
