Male-Killing, Nematode Infections, Bacteriophage Infection, and Virulence of Cytoplasmic Bacteria in the Genus<i>Wolbachia</i>

2001-11-01

Abstract excerpt

▪ Abstract Wolbachia bacteria are cytoplasmic endosymbionts with a wide range of effects on their hosts and are known to infect two major invertebrate groups, arthropods and nematodes. In arthropods Wolbachia alter host reproduction, causing unidirectional and bidirectional cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis, feminization, and embryonic male killing. Wolbachia variation in reproductive effects is indicat...
