Infection of Wolbachia in Trichogramma cacoeciae

Wolbachia is a symbiotic bacterium that alters reproductive behavior of numerous arthropods.It is the most advanced way to study phylogeny and classification based on sequences of the wsp gene. The presence of Wolbachia in a lab strain of the thelytokous Trichogramma cacoeciae was firstly identified based on amplification and sequencing part of the wsp gene. Aligned the resulting sequence with the published ones,the phylogenetic relationships among Wolbachia which was found in T. cacoeciae, T. dendrolimi and other insects were established. The Wolbachia that found in T. cacoeciae and in T. dendrolimi belong to the Kue group and the Pip group, respectively.
