Wolbachia infection in the newly described Ecuadorian sand flea, Tunga trimamillata.

Experimental parasitology - 1 Jan 2000

Luchetti Andrea, Mantovani Barbara, Fioravanti Maria Letizia, Trentini Massimo

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia pipientis is an intracellular endosymbiont producing reproductive alterations in its hosts. This bacterium have been reported in many arthropods and nematodes. By PCR amplification and sequencing of the 16S rDNA and ftsZ genes we have identified a Wolbachia strain in the newly described sand-flea, Tunga trimamillata. Prevalence of this endosymbiont in the 26 individuals screened is equal to 35%....
