“…Cardinium infections were first observed in ticks (Kurtti et al 1996), and are found in a wide range of spiders, mites, and other arachnids Chigira and Miura 2005;Groot and Breeuwer 2006;Enigl and Schausberger 2007;Duron et al 2008b;Gruwell et al 2009;Martin and Goodacre 2009;Chang et al 2010;Breeuwer et al 2012). Although this microbe seems to be more common in arachnids, it is also known to infect insects Provencher et al 2005;Bigliardi et al 2006;Marzorati et al 2006;Sirviö and Pamilo 2010).…”

“…Cardinium is now known to cause three of the four classic phenotypes often associated with reproductive parasites: cytoplasmic incompatibility in the parasitoid wasp Encarsia pergendiella (Hunter et al 2003), the spider mite Bryobia sarothamni (Ros and Breeuwer 2009), and the tetranychid mites Eotetranychus suginamensis (Gotoh et al 2006) and Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Xie et al 2010); feminization in Brevipalpus mites (Weeks et al 2001); and parthenogenesis in the hemipteran Aspidiotus nerii (Provencher et al 2005) and in Encarsia species (Zchori-Fein et al 2001;2004). In contrast to the better-known symbionts Wolbachia and Spiroplasma, the parasite Cardinium has so far not been found to be associated with male-killing.…”

Species of Cardinium are intracellular endosymbionts of arthropods. They are known to interfere with the mode of reproduction in some parasitoid wasp and mite hosts, and they are associated with parthenogenesis in the oleander scale, Aspidiotus nerii Bouché (Hemiptera: Diaspididae). Here, we survey A. nerii more broadly for presence of Cardinium species. In total, we tested 593 individuals in 301 populations, representing 132 identified species of armored scale insects, by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of 16S rDNA. We obtained positive PCR results in 67 individuals of 34 populations, representing 20 species and one unidentified individual. Sequencing of these PCR products yields 20 new Cardinium haplotypes, raising the number of known insect-associated Cardinium haplotypes from 15 to 35. The new host-list elucidates the ecology of Cardinium, which in insects seems to be specialized on plant-feeding Hemiptera and associated parasitoid Hymenoptera. A phylogenetic analysis of all known insect-associated Cardinium 16S sequences reveals deep diversity in armored scale insects and implies horizontal transfer of Cardinium among armored scale insects and their parasitoids.

“…Recently, a high incidence (22%) has been detected in spiders (Araneae) (Duron et al, 2008). Like Wolbachia, in the a-Proteobacteria, Cardinium may cause manipulation of host reproduction in ways that increase its frequency within a host population, including feminization (genotypic males develop as functional phenotypic females) (Weeks et al, 2001), cytoplasmic incompatibility (Hunter et al, 2003;Gotoh et al, 2007) and thelytokous parthenogenesis (females produce only daughters from unfertilized eggs) (Zchori-Fein et al, 2001, 2004Provencher et al, 2005;Groot and Breeuwer, 2006;Matalon et al, 2007). Cardinium also increases the fecundity of a mite host (Weeks and Stouthamer, 2004).…”

Cardinium is a bacterial symbiont infecting many species of arthropods, and is associated with manipulation of host reproduction. Cardinium is the causal agent of asexual reproduction, or thelytoky, in the chalcidoid parasitoid wasp Encarsia hispida. Feeding antibiotics to the infected adult females results in uninfected male offspring. Here, we show that these males are diploid. Diploid males are extremely unusual in the large hymenopteran superfamily Chalcidoidea, and, to our knowledge, have never before been associated with symbiont infection in this group. These findings indicate that at least in E. hispida, diploidy restoration is a necessary condition but not sufficient to elicit female development. Cardinium is required to feminize diploid male embryos and thus must interact with elements of the host sex determination system. In addition, our data suggest that Cardinium is necessary for the fertility of E. hispida; antibiotic curing of Cardinium reduces offspring production of adult females.

“…The majority of the cases of parthenogenesis studied today are associated with bacterial infections. Three different microorganisms have been found associated with parthenogenesis in arthropods: Wolbachia Werren, 1997;Arakaki et al, 2001;Weeks and Breeuwer, 2001) and Rickettsia (Hagimori et al, 2006), both members of the a-proteobacteria group; and Cardinium, a member of the Cytophaga-Flexibacter-Bacteroides group (Zchori-Fein et al, 2001Weeks et al, 2003;Provencher et al, 2005). In addition, an endosymbiont from the Verrucomicrobia group has been found associated with parthenogenesis in a nematode species (Vandekerckhove et al, 2000).…”

Thelytokous parthenogenesis in the damselfly Ischnura hastata (Odonata, Coenagrionidae): genetic mechanisms and lack of bacterial infection

Thelytokous parthenogenesis, the production of female-only offspring from unfertilized eggs, has been described in all the insect orders, but is a rare phenomenon in the Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies). The only-known case of parthenogenesis in this group is the North American damselfly species Ischnura hastata, which has parthenogenetic populations in the Azores Islands. Here, we present for the first time the results of laboratory rearing, which showed parthenogenetic reproduction in the Azorean I. hastata populations. In an attempt to understand how parthenogenesis could have evolved in this species, we first determined the genetic mode of parthenogenesis by analysing the genotype of parthenogenetic females and their offspring at three polymorphic microsatellite loci. In addition, we used polymerase chain reaction amplification to test whether parthenogenesis in I. hastata could be bacterially induced. Our data indicate that thelytoky is achieved through an (at least functionally) apomictic mechanism and that parthenogenesis is not caused by endosymbionts. Finally, we discuss possible routes to parthenogenetic reproduction, as well as the evolutionary implications of this type of parthenogenesis.
