A Case of Intragenic Recombination Dramatically Impacting the Phage WO Genetic Diversity in Gall Wasps
The phage WO was characterized in Wolbachia, a strictly intracellular bacterium causing several reproductive alterations in its arthropod hosts. This study aimed to screen the presence of Wolbachia and phage WO in 15 gall wasp species from six provinces of southern China to investigate their diversi...
