Textbook Question
Chapter 28.6, Problem 4CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Ø The bacterium Wolbachia is a symbiont that lives in mosquito cells and spreads rapidly through mosquito populations. Wolbachia can make mosquitoes resistant to infection by Plasmodium; researchers are seeking a strain that confers resistance and does not harm mosquitoes. Compare evolutionary changes that could occur if malaria control is attempted using such a Wolbachia strain versus using insecticides to kill mosquitoes. (Review Figure 28.16 and Concept 23.4.)

Wolbachia is a genus of bacteria that infect cells of invertebrates. Surveys have found that up to a
fifth of insect species have at least some individuals infected with Wolbachia. Pathogen or
parasite? This endosymbiont (a symbiont that lives inside its host) bacteria can have many effects
on its host, including killing offspring and changing the sex of offspring.
Ary Hoffmann from the University of Melbourne in Australia, Michael Turelli from the University of
California at Davis, and their associates have been studying Wolbachia infections in populations of
Drosophila simulans from California. From the initial infection around 1980, Wolbachia infection
spread northward across the state during the 1980s and 1990s. The most striking manifestation of
infection in this fly species is cytoplasmic incompatibility: offspring produced in crosses where
males are infected and the females are uninfected tend to die early in development. In crosses
between infected males and infected females,…
According to Lynn Margulis's theory of endosymbiosis, bacteria entered large cells either as parasites or as undigested prey as
illustrated. All the following are proof that mitochondria and chloroplast evolved from bacteria, except:

- A malaria vaccine has proved to be 77% effective in early trials and could be a major breakthrough against the disease, says the University of Oxford team behind it. Malaria kills more than 400,000 people a year, mostly children in sub-Saharan Africa. But despite many vaccines being trialled over the years, this is the first to meet the required target. The researchers say this vaccine could have a major public health impact. When trialled in 450 children in Burkina Faso, the vaccine was found to be safe, and showed "high-level efficacy" over 12 months of follow-up. Larger trials in nearly 5,000 children between the ages of five months and three years will now be carried out across four African countries to confirm the findings. Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through mosquito bites.

- Many fish purchased and consumed by humans are bred and raised in fish farms. The fish on a farm can be infected by parasites called sea lice, which are small crustaceans that feed on a fish's blood and skin, which may injure or even kill the fish. Jansen and colleagues (2012) analyzed sea lice infections on trout and salmon farms. Fish farms provided data on the numbers of sea lice found on their captive fish. The scientists compared the number of sea lice with the "local farmed fish biomass density," which is a measure of population density that accounts for both the number and biomass (or size) of fish on a farm. Other research has also found a relationship between sea lice infestation and mortality. From this figure and information, how does density of fish on a farm affect the number of sea lice per fish? What type of factor is regulating the size of farmed fish populations and population growth? 100 200 300 400 Local farmed fish biomass density (metric tons) 3. 2.
