This is the first comprehensive and systematic review of the activities of these reproductive parasites. It explores not only the intriguing theoretical questions raised by the relationships between symbiotic bacteria and their hosts, but also discusses a number or exciting practical applications, such as the potential for controlling disease-transmitting insects. Chapters on sex reversal, sex-ratio distortion, and evolution are included. This is a timely and up-to-the-minute exploration of a new exciting, and rapidly expanding area of biology.
