Sequence of a <i>Coxiella</i> endosymbiont of the tick <i>Amblyomma nuttalli</i> suggests a pattern of convergent genome reduction in the <i>Coxiella</i> genus

2020-07-17

Abstract excerpt

Ticks require bacterial symbionts for the provision of necessary compounds that are absent in their hematophagous diet. Such symbionts are frequently vertically transmitted and, most commonly, belong to the Coxiella genus, which also includes the human pathogen Coxiella burnetii . This genus can be divided in four main clades, presenting partial but incomplete co-cladogenesis with the tick hosts. Here we report...
