Insects with restricted diets rely on obligate microbes to fulfil nutritional requirements essential for biological function. Tsetse flies, vectors of African trypanosome parasites, feed exclusively on vertebrate blood and harbour the obligate endosymbiont Wigglesworthia glossinidia. Without Wigglesworthia, tsetse are unable to reproduce.

Graphical representation of the proportion of bacteriome transcriptome reads mapping to annotated and unannotated Glossina sequences, bacterial transcripts (Wigglesworthia + Sodalis), mitochondrial transcripts and viral transcripts. Side bars represent proportions of reads mapped to Wigglesworthia and Glossina RNA classes (See table S2 for details).
