Query: NC_013532:85371 Anaplasma centrale str. Israel, complete genome
Lineage: Anaplasma centrale; Anaplasma; Anaplasmataceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: The Anaplasma centrale Israel strain was established in the 1950's upon acquisition of the strain from South Africa where it was first identified. Anaplasma centrale infects the red blood cells of cattle and, in many parts of the world, is used as a live vaccine against the more virulent Anaplasma marginale which causes anaplasmosis.
Subject: NC_002978:4973 Wolbachia endosymbiont of Drosophila melanogaster, complete genome
Lineage: Wolbachia endosymbiont of Drosophila melanogaster; Wolbachia; Anaplasmataceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Wolbachia endosymbiont of Drosophila melanogaster. Fruitfly endosymbiont. This group of bacteria are associated with a variety of invertebrate species, some as pathogens, some in a symbiotic or other type of relationship. Typically these organisms are transmitted maternally from mother to daughter transovarially (through the egg) although these bacteria can affect their hosts reproductive capabilities in order to enhance transmission. The net outcome is the increase of hosts carrying the bacteria in the next generation, thereby increasing transmission. Wolbachia endosymbiont of Drosophila melanogaster is an obligate intracellular endosymbiont of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.
