Dear Alex,

Awesome references you provided. Thanks a ton. :)

Hi Alex,

I could not find the full text of Hoyt CP, Osborne GO, Mulcock AP. Production of an insect sex attractant by symbiotic bacteria. Nature. 1971 Apr 16;230(5294):472-3. Could you send a copy in case you have if you don't mind. Thanks a lot.

Vivek, I am sorry, I have no subscription for Nature. I have asked for copy, but not sure that will get it.

Dear Vivek,

I was on a talk by Wolfgang Miller (Wien Universität) last year and it seems his group has been working on a similar problem using Wolbachia. I don't think they have published the results yet.

Hi Ayana Martins,

Thanks I will try contacting Wolfgang miller. Thanks ones again for the info.

Cheers
