Infection dynamics of endosymbionts that manipulate arthropod reproduction

Franziska A. Brenninger,
Roman Zug,
Hanna Kokko

Abstract: A large proportion of arthropod species are infected with endosymbionts, some of which selfishly alter host reproduction. The currently known forms of parasitic reproductive manipulations are male-killing, feminization, cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis induction and distortion of sex allocation. While all of these phenomena represent adaptations that enhance parasite spread, they differ in the mechanisms involved and the consequent infection dynamics. We focus here on the latter aspect, summarizing… Show more
