Wigglesworthia glossinidia endosymbiont of Glossina brevipalpis |
| Accession numbers |
NC_003425, NC_004344 |
| Background |
Wigglesworthia brevipalpis lives inside the gut of the blood-sucking tsetse fly. The bacterium and fly live in symbiosis. The bacterium has genes involved in the synthesis of vitamins. Without the bacteria and vitamins the tsetse fly is sterile. (HAMAP: WIGBR) |
