Abstract:Wolbachia are among the most prevalent and widespread endosymbiotic
bacteria on earth. Wolbachia’s success in infecting an enormous number
of arthropod species is attributed to two features: the range of
phenotypes they induce in their hosts, and their ability to switch
between host species. Whilst much progress has been made in elucidating
their induced phenotypes, our understanding of Wolbachia host shifting
is still very limited: we lack answers to even fundamental questions
concerning Wolbachia’s routes of… Show more
