Male Killing Spiroplasma Preferentially Disrupts Neural Development in the Drosophila melanogaster Embryo
Male killing bacteria such as Spiroplasma are widespread pathogens of numerous arthropods including Drosophila melanogaster. These maternally transmitted bacteria can bias host sex ratios toward the female sex in order to ‘selfishly’ enhance bacterial transmission. However, little is known about the...
