The Wolbachia Genome of Brugia malayi: Endosymbiont Evolution within a Human Pathogenic Nematode [PDF]
Complete genome DNA sequence and analysis is presented for Wolbachia, the obligate alpha-proteobacterial endosymbiont required for fertility and survival of the human filarial parasitic nematode Brugia malayi. Although, quantitatively, the genome is even
