A phylogenetic analysis of filarial nematodes: comparison with the phylogeny of <i>Wolbachia</i> endosymbionts
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Infection with the endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia is widespread in filarial nematodes. Previous studies have suggested concordance between the phylogeny of Wolbachia with that of their nematode hosts. However, there is only one published molecular phylogenetic study of filarial species, based on the 5S rRNA gene spacer. The phylogeny proposed by this study is partially incongruent with previous classifications...
