Various Wolbachia genotypes differently influence host Drosophila dopamine metabolism and survival under heat stress conditions

One of the most widespread prokaryotic symbionts of invertebrates is the intracellular bacteria of Wolbachia genus which can be found in about 50% of insect species. Wolbachia causes both parasitic and mutualisti...
