Evolutionary history of Wolbachia infections in the fire ant Solenopsis invicta.

BMC evolutionary biology - 31 May 2005

Ahrens Michael E, Shoemaker Dewayne

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Wolbachia are endosymbiotic bacteria that commonly infect numerous arthropods. Despite their broad taxonomic distribution, the transmission patterns of these bacteria within and among host species are not well understood. We sequenced a portion of the wsp gene from the Wolbachia genome infecting 138 individuals from eleven geographically distributed native populations of the fire ant Solenopsis...
