The paper analyzes the genomic diversity of Wolbachia strains and their plasmids in Aedes albopictus, revealing evolutionary patterns and structural variation driven by environmental factors.

The paper presents the first complete telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of Microsporidia sp. MB, revealing genomic features and gene loss associated with its symbiotic lifestyle.

The paper investigates how recombination, truncation, and horizontal transfer shape the diversity of cytoplasmic incompatibility patterns in Wolbachia wPip strains.

The paper identifies two genomic variants of Wolbachia strain wAlbB, showing differences in gene content and density that correlate with environmental tolerance and stability in mosquito populations.

The paper sequenced the Wolbachia strain wAlbA and found it associated with plasmids, revealing that such plasmids are common in Wolbachia and may contribute to host-symbiont interactions.
