Within host selection for faster replicating bacterial symbionts

2017-11-20

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia is a widespread, intracellular symbiont of arthropods, able to induce reproductive distortions and antiviral protection in insects. Wolbachia can also be pathogenic, as is the case with w MelPop, a virulent variant of the endosymbiont of Drosophila melanogaster . An extensive genomic amplification of the 20kb region encompassing eight Wolbachia genes, called Octomom, is responsible for w MelPop viru...
