The lack of correlation between the level of radioactive contamination and infection with Wolbachia in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster from Ukraine
Keywords:
Wolbachia, Drosophila melanogaster, natural populations, radioactive contamination
Abstract
We analyzed Wolbachia infection rates in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster from conditionally clean and contaminated localities in Ukraine. This parameter was lower in the most heavily contaminated locality (Janiv, 13.5 mSv/h) – 29.4% compared with the other 6 studied natural populations of Ukraine (from localities Poliske, Chernobyl NPP cooling pond, Chernobyl, Kyiv, Varva, Uman). We observed no correlation between Wolbachia infection rate and radiation background in the localities, where was collected samples in August-September 2014.
