The genome sequence of the Wolbachia endosymbiont that infects the nematode Brugia malayi has recently been determined together with three partial Wolbachia genomes from different Drosophila species. These data along with the previously published Wolbachia genome from Drosophila melanogaster provide new insights into how this endosymbiont has managed to become so successful.
感染马来布鲁线虫的沃尔巴克氏体共生菌的基因组序列最近已被测定,同时还测定了来自不同果蝇物种的三个沃尔巴克氏体部分基因组。这些数据连同之前发表的黑腹果蝇沃尔巴克氏体基因组,为这种共生菌如何变得如此成功提供了新的见解。
