Wolbachia Has Two Different Localization Patterns in Whitefly Bemisia tabaci AsiaII7 Species.
The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a cosmopolitan insect species complex that harbors the obligate primary symbiont Portiera aleyrodidarum and several facultative secondary symbionts including Wolbachia, which have diverse influences on the host biology. Here, for the first time, we revealed two differe...
