Host morphogenetic events and Wnt signaling influence Wolbachia tropism in Drosophila gonads
Wolbachia are maternally transmitted endosymbionts that infect a large proportion of arthropods and reduce vector competency of mosquitoes carrying deadly diseases such as Dengue, Zika, West Nile Virus, and Chikungunya. Wolbachia preferentially infect specific host cells, a phenomenon termed tissue...
