Wolbachia are present in southern african scorpions and cluster with supergroup F.

Current microbiology - 1 Nov 2007

Baldo Laura, Prendini Lorenzo, Corthals Angelique, Werren John H

Abstract excerpt

The presence and distribution of the intracellular bacteria Wolbachia in the arthropod subphylum Chelicerata (including class Arachnida) has not been extensively explored. Here we report the discovery of Wolbachia in scorpions. Five strains found in host species of the genus Opistophthalmus (Southern African burrowing scorpions) have been characterized by Multilocus Sequence Typing and by Wolbachia Surface...
