Spacer 2 region and 5S rDNA variation of Wolbachia strains involved in cytoplasmic incompatibility or sex-ratio distortion in arthropods.

Letters in applied microbiology - 1 Jan 1999

van Meer M M, van Kan F J, Stouthamer R

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria in the genus Wolbachia are widespread in arthropods and can induce sex-ratio distortion or cytoplasmic incompatibility in their hosts. The phylogeny of Wolbachia has been studied using 16S rDNA and the cell cycle gene ftsZ, but sequence variation of those genes is limited. The spacer 2 region (SR2) was amplified to determine whether this region would improve phylogenetic resolution. The SR2 of Wolbachia...
