Spiroplasma
Mycoplasmatota |
Anopheles gambiaeBurkina Faso |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Spiroplasma may have reproductive interactions with mosquito hosts, either by providing an indirect fitness advantage to females by inducing male killing or by directly protecting the host against natural pathogens. |
