High-sensitivity detection of cryptic Wolbachia in the African tsetse fly (Glossina spp.)

High-sensitivity detection of cryptic Wolbachia in the African tsetse fly (Glossina spp.)

Abstract Background In African tsetse flies Glossina, spp. detection of bacterial symbionts such as Wolbachia is challenging since their prevalence and distribution are patchy, and natural symbiont titers can range at levels far below detection limit of standard molecular techniques. Reliable estima...
