New insights into the evolution of Wolbachia infections in filarial nematodes inferred from a large range of screened species.

New insights into the evolution of Wolbachia infections in filarial nematodes inferred from a large range of screened species.

<h4>Background</h4>Wolbachia are intriguing symbiotic endobacteria with a peculiar host range that includes arthropods and a single nematode family, the Onchocercidae encompassing agents of filariases. This raises the question of the origin of infection in filariae. Wolbachia infect the...
