Combined actions of bacteriophage-encoded genes in Wolbachia-induced male lethality

Combined actions of bacteriophage-encoded genes in Wolbachia-induced male lethality

Summary: Some Wolbachia endosymbionts induce male killing, whereby male offspring of infected females are killed during development; however, the origin and diversity of the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we identified a 76 kbp prophage region specific to male-killing Wolbachia...
