Genome sequence of the endocellular obligate symbiont of tsetse flies, Wigglesworthia glossinidia

Nature Genetics, 2002
Many insects that rely on a single food source throughout their developmental cycle harbor beneficial microbes that provide nutrients absent from their restricted diet. Tsetse flies, the vectors of African trypanosomes, feed exclusively on blood and rely on one such intracellular microbe for nutritional provisioning and fecundity.

The major protein in the midgut of teneral Glossina morsitans morsitans is a molecular chaperone from the endosymbiotic bacterium Wigglesworthia glossinidia

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2002
Molecules in the midgut of the tsetse fly (Diptera: Glossinidiae) are thought to play an important role in the life cycle of African trypanosomes by influencing their initial establishment in the midgut and subsequent differentiation events that ultimately affect parasite transmission.

Concordant Evolution of a Symbiont with Its Host Insect Species: Molecular Phylogeny of Genus Glossina and Its Bacteriome-Associated Endosymbiont, Wigglesworthia glossinidia

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1999
Many arthropods with restricted diets rely on symbiotic associations for full nutrition and fecundity. Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) harbor three symbiotic organisms in addition to the parasitic African trypanosomes they transmit. Two of these microorganisms reside in different gut cells, while the third organism is harbored in reproductive ...

Symbionti Arsenophonus a Sodalis v kloších: analogie k systému Wigglesworthia a Sodalis v mouchách tsetse

2016
This study provides a new comparative model of symbiosis in sheep ked to well-characterized tsetse fly symbiotic system. Distribution of symbiotic associates was revealed by transmission electron microscopy and their evolutionary origin was confirmed by reconstruction of their phylogenies. Using genomic data, it explores their metabolic contribution to
