Experimental evolution of virulence and associated traits in a Drosophila melanogaster–Wolbachia symbiosis
Evolutionary theory predicts that vertically transmitted symbionts are selected for low virulence, as their fitness is directly correlated to that of their host. In contrast with this prediction, the Wolbachia strain wMelPop drastically reduces its Drosophila melanogaster host lifespan at high reari...
