Symbiosis gene in Wolbachia-nematode interaction

In collaboration with Kenneth Pfarr we assisted in analysis of a gene that may be involved in the symbiosis of Wolbachia and filarial nematodes.

Heider U, Blaxter M, Hoerauf A, Pfarr KM. Differential display of genes expressed in the filarial nematode Litomosoides sigmodontis reveals a putative phosphate permease up-regulated after depletion of Wolbachia endobacteria. Int J Med Microbiol. 2006 Aug;296(4-5):287-99. .
