Infection with endosymbiotic <i>Spiroplasma</i> disrupts tsetse ( <i>Glossina fuscipes fuscipes</i> ) metabolic and reproductive homeostasis
2021-04-09
Abstract excerpt
Tsetse flies ( Glossina spp.) house a population-dependent assortment of microorganisms that can include pathogenic African trypanosomes and maternally transmitted endosymbiotic bacteria, the latter of which mediate numerous aspects of their host’s metabolic, reproductive, and immune physiologies. One of these endosymbionts, Spiroplasma , was recently discovered to reside within multiple tissues of field capture...
