Hello all:

The following is a webpage from CDC with a discussion about unusual behaviors that are sometimes caused by disease organisms. Scroll down to "Elsewhere in Nature....Some time ago..." and read about parthenogenesis. The author does not mention aphids, a common sucking insect, but they also reproduce parthenogenecally.

Can anything be more incestuous than parthenogenesis?
