Multi-locus phylogenetics of the Midichloria endosymbionts reveals variable specificity of association with ticks.

Parasitology - 1 Dec 2018

Buysse M, Duron O

Abstract excerpt

Candidatus Midichloria mitochondrii is a maternally inherited bacterium of ticks with a unique intra-mitochondrial lifestyle. Here, we investigate on the evolutionary history of these associations and the degree of Midichloria-tick specificity. While previous surveys used the 16S rRNA gene as an exclusive molecular marker, we rather developed a multi-locus typing method based on four more variable housekeeping...
