The Obligate Mutualist <i>Wigglesworthia glossinidia</i> Influences Reproduction, Digestion, and Immunity Processes of Its Host, the Tsetse Fly

9 Aug 2008

Abstract excerpt

Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are vectors for trypanosome parasites, the agents of the deadly sleeping sickness disease in Africa. Tsetse also harbor two maternally transmitted enteric mutualist endosymbionts: the primary intracellular obligate Wigglesworthia glossinidia and the secondary commensal Sodalis glossinidius. Both endosymbionts are transmitted to the intrauterine progeny through the milk gland...
