Whole-Genome Sequence of Wolbachia Strain wAlbB, an Endosymbiont of Tiger Mosquito Vector Aedes albopictus
Résumé
Although bacteria of the genus Wolbachia induced significant extended phenotypes to infected hosts, most molecular mechanisms involved are still unknown. To gain insight into the bacterial genetic determinants, we sequenced the whole genome of Wolbachia wAlbB strain, a commensal obligate intracellular of the tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus.
