"Wolbachia" Infections and Arthropod Reproduction

- Summary
- Subjects
- Metrics

Abstract

Wolbachia is an intracellular bacterium that is almost exclusively maternally transmitted, and its reproductive effects favor transmission of the intracellular bacterial agent at the expense of the arthropod population that is not infected. Wolbachia can cause cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis and feminization in many arthropods.
