“…Only recently, though, have Wolbachia been implicated in the one-way cross incompatibility between G. pennsylvanicus males and G. Þrmus females. This suggestion was made by Giordano et al (1997), who found that G. pennsylvanicus was infected with Wolbachia, while G. Þrmus was not. Thus, the one-way incompatibility could seemingly be explained by Wolbachia-induced unidirectional CI (Giordano et al, 1997).…”

“…The bacteria can alter the reproductive biology of their hosts in several ways, like uni or bidirectional incompatibility, sex ratio biases, parthenogenesis and host fecundity (reviews in Werren and Guo, 1995a;Johanowicz and Hoy, 1998). Wolbachia-like organisms may also cause reproductive isolation of different geographical strains of Drosophila species (Boyle et al, 1993), and may be one mechanism involved in speciation processes (Werren, 1997;Giordano et al, 1997).…”

Haldane's rule and other aspects of reproductive isolation observed in the Anastrepha fraterculus complex (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Some aspects of reproductive isolation between allopatric populations of two closely related species of the Anastrepha fraterculus complex (A. fraterculus sp. 1 and sp. 2) were evaluated in laboratory conditions. Most of the crosses were fertile in each species as well as between sp. 2 females and sp. 1 males. In the reciprocal cross only 41.7% of the matings yielded viable progeny. Egg hatching occurred at similar rates within the two species, but was significantly lower in the crosses between the species. Adult emergence did not differ significantly among crosses. The sex ratio of adult progeny within each species, as well as in the hybrid progeny derived from sp. 1 females crossed to sp. 2 males, did not differ from the expected 1:1 ratio. However, in the crosses between sp. 2 females to sp. 1 males, a significant deviation in the sex ratio in favor of females was observed, according to the Haldane's rule. The results reinforce previous data which indicated that A. fraterculus sp. 1 and A. fraterculus sp. 2 are distinct biological entities.

“…An alignment (984 positions, counting the insertions^deletions, indels), including the ftsZ DNA sequences obtained from ¢larial wolbachiae and those reported in Werren et al (1995) and in Giordano et al (1997), was then constructed according to the scheme in Werren et al (1995). For some analyses, A. marginale was included as an outgroup.…”

Intracellular bacteria have been observed in various species of ¢larial nematodes (family Onchocercidae). The intracellular bacterium of the canine ¢laria Diro¢laria immitis has been shown to be closely related to Wolbachia, a rickettsia-like micro-organism that is widespread among arthropods. However, the relationships between endosymbionts of di¡erent ¢lariae, and between these and the arthropod wolbachiae, appear not to have been studied. To address these issues we have examined ten species of ¢larial nematodes for the presence of Wolbachia. For nine species, all samples examined were PCR positive using primers speci¢c for the ftsZ gene of Wolbachia. For one species, the examined samples were PCR negative. Sequences of the ampli¢ed ftsZ gene fragments of ¢larial wolbachiae fall into two clusters (C and D), which are distinct from the A and B clusters recognized for arthropod wolbachiae. These four lineages (A^D) are related in a star-like phylogeny, with higher nucleotide divergence observed between C and D wolbachiae than that observed between A and B wolbachiae. In addition, within each of the two lineages of ¢larial wolbachiae, the phylogeny of the symbionts is consistent with the host phylogeny. Thus, there is no evidence for recent Wolbachia transmission between arthropods and nematodes. Endosymbiont 16S ribosomal DNA sequences from a subset of ¢larial species support these ¢ndings.

The role of Wolbachia bacteria in reproductive incompatibilities and hybrid zones of Diabrotica beetles and Gryllus crickets

Abstract: A rickettsial bacterium in the genus Wolbachia is the cause of a unidirectional reproductive incompatibility observed between two major beetle pests of maize, the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, and the Mexican corn rootworm, D. v. zeae.
