Significant heterogeneity in Wolbachia copy number within and between populations of Onchocerca volvulus
Abstract Background Wolbachia are intracellular bacteria found in arthropods and several filarial nematode species. The filarial Wolbachia have been proposed to be involved in the immunopathology associated with onchocerciasis. Higher Wolbachia-to-nematode ratios have been reported in the savannah-e...
