Fitness effects and transmission routes of a microsporidian parasite infecting Drosophila and its parasitoids
A microsporidian infection was discovered in laboratory cultures of Drosophila species. Ultrastructural examination suggested it belonged to the poorly characterized species Tubulinosema kingi, and morphological and sequence data are presented. We explored how T. kingi affected the fitness of Drosop...
