A new guest to the blood feast: a novel symbiotic lineage associated with a haematophagous leech from the genus <i>Haementeria</i>

2023-12-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Similarly to other strict blood-feeders, leeches from the Haementeria genus (Hirudinida: Glossiphoniidae) have established a symbiotic association with bacteria harboured intracellularly in oesophageal bacteriomes. Previous genome sequence analyses of these endosymbionts revealed co-divergence with their hosts, a strong genome reduction, and a simplified metabolism largely dedicated to the prod...
