Terrestrial isopods are widely infected with Wolbachia. However, little is known about the presence of bacteria in the Neotropical species. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis of presence of Wolbachia infection in the native species of terrestrial isopods, Atlantoscia floridana and Circoniscus bezzii, and in the introduced species Burmoniscus meeusei.
陆生等足目动物广泛感染沃尔巴克氏体。然而,关于新热带地区物种中细菌的存在情况知之甚少。本研究的目的是验证在本地陆生等足目物种 Atlantoscia floridana 和 Circoniscus bezzii 以及引入物种 Burmoniscus meeusei 中存在沃尔巴克氏体感染的假设。
