Reynolds, S. and Rolff, J. (2008) Immune function keeps endosymbionts under control. Journal of Biology, 7 (8). p. 28. ISSN 1475-4924
Abstract
How does an animal host prevent intracellular symbionts getting out of hand? A new paper in BMC Biology provides evidence that the mutualism between a beetle and its bacterial endosymbiont could be mediated through the expression of host immune genes.
