Supergroup C Wolbachia , mutualist symbionts of filarial nematodes, have a distinct genome structure
1 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
Wolbachia pipientis is possibly the most widespread endosymbiont of arthropods and nematodes. While all Wolbachia strains have historically been defined as a single species, 16 monophyletic clusters of diversity (called supergroups) have been described. Different supergroups have distinct host ranges and symbiotic relationships, ranging from mutualism to reproductive manipulation. In filarial nematodes, which...
