The Wolbachia mobilome in Culex pipiens includes a putative plasmid

Wolbachia bacteria live within the cells of many insects, including the mosquito Culex pipiens. Here, the authors analyse new and existing Wolbachia metagenomes from C. pipiens mosquitoes and find evidence of a plasmid, which may facilitate genetic manipulation of these bacteria for vector control a...
