Environmental and genetic contributions to imperfect <i>w</i> Mel-like <i>Wolbachia</i> transmission and frequency variation

2020-06-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Maternally transmitted Wolbachia bacteria infect about half of all insect species. They usually show imperfect maternal transmission and often produce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). Irrespective of CI, Wolbachia frequencies tend to increase when rare only if they benefit host fitness. Several Wolbachia , including w Mel that infects Drosophila melanogaster cause weak or no CI and persist...
