REVALENCE AND GENOTYPIC DIVERSITY OF THE SYMBIOTIC BACTERIUM WOLBACHIA IN THE DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER POPULATION OF NALCHIK
The symbiotic bacterium Wolbachia is widespread in natural Drosophila melanogaster populations. Its frequency in D. melanogaster populations is broadly variable from occasional individuals to total infestation. Six genotypes are recognized in this symbiont: wMel, wMel2, wMel3, wMel4, wMelCS, and wMe...
