Wolbachia protects Drosophila melanogaster against two naturally occurring and virulent viral pathogens
Abstract Wolbachia is a common endosymbiont that can protect insects against viral pathogens. However, whether the antiviral effects of Wolbachia have a significant effect on fitness remains unclear. We have investigated the interaction between Drosophila melanogaster, Wolbachia and two viruses that...
