Supergroup C Wolbachia, mutualist symbionts of filarial nematodes, have a distinct genome structure
Wolbachia pipientis is possibly the most widespread endosymbiont of arthropods and nematodes. While all Wolbachia strains have historically been defined as a single species, 16 monophyletic clusters of diversity (called supergroups) have been described. Different supergroups have distinct host range...
