The Wolbachia genome of Brugia malayi: endosymbiont evolution within a human pathogenic nematode.

The Wolbachia genome of Brugia malayi: endosymbiont evolution within a human pathogenic nematode.

Complete genome DNA sequence and analysis is presented for Wolbachia, the obligate alpha-proteobacterial endosymbiont required for fertility and survival of the human filarial parasitic nematode Brugia malayi. Although, quantitatively, the genome is even more degraded than those of closely related R...
