The pathology of embryo death caused by the male-killing Spiroplasma bacterium in Drosophila nebulosa
BACKGROUND: Inherited bacteria that kill male offspring, male-killers, are known to be common in insects, but little is understood about the mechanisms used by male-killing bacteria to kill males. In this paper we describe the tempo and changes that occur during male-killing by Spiroplasma bacteria...
