| new genetic lineages, host associations and circulation pathways of neorickettsia endosymbionts of digeneans. | neorickettsia is a genus of intracellular bacteria endosymbiotic in digeneans that may also invade cells of vertebrates and are known to cause diseases of wildlife and humans. herein, we report results of screening for neorickettsia of an extensive collection of dna extracts from adult and larval digeneans obtained from various vertebrates and mollusks in the united states. seven isolates of neorickettsia were detected by pcr and sequenced targeting a 527 bp long region of 16s rrna. sequence com ... | 2012 | 22875676 |
