Journal Article
Microorganisms in the reproductive tissues of arthropods
2020
Overview
Microorganisms that reside within or transmit through arthropod reproductive tissues have profound impacts on host reproduction, health and evolution. In this Review, we discuss select principles of the biology of microorganisms in arthropod reproductive tissues, including bacteria, viruses, protists and fungi. We review models of specific symbionts, routes of transmission, and the physiological and evolutionary outcomes for both hosts and microorganisms. We also identify areas in need of continuing research, to answer the fundamental questions that remain in fields within and beyond arthropod–microorganism associations. New opportunities for research in this area will drive a broader understanding of major concepts as well as the biodiversity, mechanisms and translational applications of microorganisms that interact with host reproductive tissues.In this Review, Perlmutter and Bordenstein discuss our current knowledge of microbial symbionts that inhabit or transmit through the reproductive tissues of arthropods, their modes of transmission, and the physiological and evolutionary outcomes of their symbiotic relationships.
