Detection and Genetic Diversity of Heritable Bacterial Symbionts in Human Lice Based on 16S-rRNA Gene. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Candidatus Riesia pediculicola and Wolbachia were found in 79.6% and 95.2% of head lice, and 81.8% and 100% of body lice. Candidatus Riesia pthiripubis and Wolbachia appeared in 41.7% and 75% of pubic lice. Maximum‐likelihood 16S‐rRNA phylogeny revealed substantial heterogeneity within symbiont populations. ABSTRACT Human lice are obligate bloodsucking

Symbiont Reintroduction Alters Tumor Progression and Life-History Traits in the Tumor-Bearing Freshwater Cnidarian <i>Hydra oligactis</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We reintroduced the native ciliate Kerona pediculus into long‐term symbiont‐free Hydra oligactis lines differing in tumor affliction. Unexpectedly, spontaneous tumors arose at high frequency independently of ciliate acquisition, fundamentally reshaping the experimental framework and enabling comparisons of how symbiont reintroduction affects hosts with
