Symbionts commonly provide broad spectrum resistance to viruses in insects: a comparative analysis of Wolbachia strains.
In the last decade, bacterial symbionts have been shown to play an important role in protecting hosts against pathogens. Wolbachia, a widespread symbiont in arthropods, can protect Drosophila and mosquito species against viral infections. We have investigated antiviral protection in 19 Wolbachia str...
