Two complete genomes of male-killing Wolbachia infecting Ostrinia moth species illuminate their evolutionary dynamics and association with hosts
T. Muro, H. Hikida, T. Fujii, T. Kiuchi, S. Katsuma
This study sequenced two male-killing Wolbachia genomes from Ostrinia moths, revealing minimal genome evolution and recent introgression, and provided insights into host-symbiont evolutionary dynamics.
