Abstract

Research has been conducted on maternally transmitted bacteria killing male hosts during their development. The authors have investigated the relationships between a butterfly and its male-killing host Wolbachia, and they report that they have not identified the physical cost to infection and that this finding indicates high prevalence of butterfly's male killer.
