Genome sequencing and comparative analysis of <i>Wolbachia</i> strain <i>w</i> AlbA reveals <i>Wolbachia</i> -associated plasmids are common
2022-07-02
Abstract excerpt
Wolbachia are widespread maternally-transmitted bacteria of arthropods that often spread by manipulating their host’s reproduction through cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). Their invasive potential is currently being harnessed in field trials aiming to control mosquito-borne diseases. Wolbachia genomes commonly harbour prophage regions encoding the cif genes which confer their ability to induce CI. Recently, a p...
