摘要
Wolbachia是广泛分布于节肢动物体生殖组织内呈母质遗传的一类共生细菌。近30多年来,大量的研究主要集中于Wolbachia对宿主生殖方式的调控方面;近年来的研究发现,Wolbachia对节肢动物宿主的适合度具有不同程度的影响。现对Wolbachia的宿主分布、存在部位及其对节肢动物宿主种群适合度的影响等方面进行了综述,探讨了Wolbachia在该领域的研究意义和潜在的应用价值。
Wolbachia are common and maternally inherited bacteria found in reproductive tissue of a wide range of arthropod species. A tremendous amount of progress on their manipulating reproduction of their host has been made over the past 30 years. Recent surveys have found that they could effect the fitness of their hosts. The recent advances on Wolbachia distribution, locality and their effects on the fitness of hosts are reviewed, and the significance and potential implications of the fields are discussed.
