<i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> infected with <i>Wolbachia</i> strain <i>w</i> MelCS prefer cooler temperatures

Abstract excerpt
Temperature plays a fundamental role in the dynamics of host-pathogen interactions. Wolbachia is an endosymbiotic bacteria that infects about 40% of arthropod species, which can affect host behaviour and reproduction. Yet, the effect of Wolbachia on host thermoregulatory behaviour is largely unknown, despite its use in disease vector control programs in thermally variable environments. Here, we used a thermal gr...
