“…eklem bacaklılarda partenogenezisi uyarmakta, dolayı-sıyla Wolbachia tedavisiyle insekt populasyonu azaltıla-bilmektedir [3] . Nitekim Wolbachia enfeksiyonunun bazı Crustacea'larda ve Lepidoptera türlerinde genotipik erkekleri, fenotipik fonksiyonel dişilere çevirdiği belirlenmiştir [11,12] . İran'da yapılan bir çalışmada [3] , 770 arthropod (22 soya ait) ve 41 nematod (6 soya ait) Wolbachia yönünden araştırılmış ve %14.08'lik bir pozitiflik bulunmuş ve bu oranın daha yüksek olabileceği belirtilmiştir.…”

ÖzetWolbachia spp., Riketsia soyundan gram negatif hücre içi bir bakteri olup, arthropodlarda yatay ve dikey olarak taşınmakta, üreme ile ilgili dokularında da bulunmaktadırlar. SummaryWolbachia is a gram negative intracellular parasite from Rickettsia family which is located into reproductive organs of arthropods and transmitted by horizontally and vertically. The aim of this study was to investigate of Wolbachia spp. in different species of flies by PCR. For this aim, 33 females and 15 males of Musca spp., 30 females and 7 males of Lucilia sericata, 16 females and 4 males of Calliphora vicina, 1 female and 4 males of Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis and 27 females and 10 males of Chrysomia albiceps adult flies were used. After the isolation of genomic DNA, the specific primers were used and PCR was performed for the amplification of Wolbachia wsp (Wolbachia surface protein) gene. As a result, the positive control sample yielded 630 bp band while negative control and none of the tested samples yielded band. In conclusion, Wolbachia spp has been molecularly investigated in some Diptera populations for the first time in Turkey.

“…observ.). As a positive control in the PCR assay, we used DNA samples of O. furnacalis and O. scapulalis that were infected with Wolbachia from our previous studies (Kageyama et al, 2002(Kageyama et al, , 2003.…”

Abstract.A sequence analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COII) gene in Russian and Turkish maizeassociated populations of Ostrinia nubilalis and a Slovenian population of O. nubilalis probably infesting maize revealed little diversity. This lack of diversity may have resulted from bottleneck event(s) when the maize-associated population of O. nubilalis expanded from small population(s) in association with the cultivation of maize in Europe ca. 500 years ago. In the genealogy of COII genes obtained in the present and previous studies, Eurasian samples were substantially differentiated from North American samples.

“…By converting sexual females into parthenogenetic females (Adachi-Hagimori et al, 2008), it can ensure it is passed on productively to all of the progeny of the parthenogenetic females. (D) One means by which Wolbachia 'trapped' in males can skirt their inevitable elimination is to convert genetic males into reproductive females (Kageyama et al, 2002), thereby ensuring they can be passed on to its offspring. (E) Another means by which Wolbachia can quickly spread in the population is by reducing the reproductive fitness of uninfected females relative to infected ones.…”

Selfishness is pervasive and manifests at all scales of biology, from societies, to individuals, to genetic elements within a genome. The relentless struggle to seek evolutionary advantages drives perpetual cycles of adaptation and counter-adaptation, commonly referred to as Red Queen interactions. In this review, we explore insights gleaned from molecular and genetic studies of such genetic conflicts, both extrinsic (between genomes) and intrinsic (within genomes or cells). We argue that many different characteristics of selfish genetic elements can be distilled into two types of advantages: an overreplication advantage (e.g. mobile genetic elements in genomes) and a transmission distortion advantage (e.g. meiotic drivers in populations). These two general categories may help classify disparate types of selfish genetic elements.
