Wolbachia infection and mitochondrial diversity in the canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis).

Mitochondrial DNA - 1 Dec 2010

Belanger Diana H, Perkins Susan L

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Many species of filarial nematodes are infected with Wolbachia pipientis, a maternally inherited endosymbiont. In addition to manipulating host reproduction, these bacteria also affect the evolution of the mitochondrial DNA with which they are transmitted. Selective sweeps can establish a single mitochondrial lineage within a Wolbachia-infected population and purge genetic diversity. While...
