Abstract excerpt

Many bacterial taxa evolved facultative symbiotic associations with insects and spread through host populations by horizontal and maternal transmission. Co-infection at the individual host level may facilitate or constrain the spread of facultative symbionts. Due to insufficiently detailed genotyping, co-infections of maternally transmitted symbionts often remain hidden, limiting our understanding of...
