Abstract

The temporal dynamics of protective symbionts have rarely been characterized outside of aphid hosts. Here, we determine the prevalence of Spiroplasma in two populations of Drosophila hydei where Spiroplasma infection had been previously recorded (UK and Japan). We observe that infection in both populations is variable over time and confirm the persistence of Spiroplasma in the UK population for 9 years. Thus, variable prevalence over time appears to be a common feature of these symbioses.

在两个自然种群中，随时间变化的保护性螺旋体感染患病率

在蚜虫宿主之外，保护性共生体的时间动态很少被表征。在这里，我们确定了螺旋体感染的两个种群的hydei果蝇（英国和日本）之前有记录的患病率。我们观察到两种人群的感染随着时间的推移而变化，并证实了螺旋体在英国人群中持续存在了9年。因此，随时间变化的流行率似乎是这些共生的共同特征。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Invertebrate Pathology presents original research articles and notes on the induction and pathogenesis of diseases of invertebrates, including the suppression of diseases in beneficial species, and the use of diseases in controlling undesirable species. In addition, the journal publishes the results of physiological, morphological, genetic, immunological and ecological studies as related to the etiologic agents of diseases of invertebrates. The Journal of Invertebrate Pathology is the adopted journal of the Society for Invertebrate Pathology, and is available to SIP members at a special reduced price.
