Genomic and phenotypic comparisons reveal distinct variants of <i>Wolbachia</i> strain <i>w</i> AlbB
2022-02-26
Abstract excerpt
The intracellular bacterium Wolbachia inhibits virus replication and is being harnessed around the world to fight mosquito-borne diseases through releases of mosquitoes carrying the symbiont. Wolbachia strains vary in their ability to invade mosquito populations and suppress viruses in part due to differences in their density within the insect and associated fitness costs. Using whole-genome sequencing, we demon...
