摘要
WO噬菌体是侵染节肢动物Wolbachia的细菌病毒。WO噬菌体可能携带重要的基因以原噬菌体的形式插入到Wolbachia基因组中并参与Wolbachia调控宿主生殖方式。利用PCR扩增的方法,在感染胞内菌Wolbachia的黑腹果蝇体内检测到了WO噬菌体。由此表明,黑腹果蝇体内存在WO噬菌体。
WO phage was like-virus distributed in Wolbachia of the arthropod. It might take important genes in the form of phage inserted in the genome of Wolbachia and take part in the process of the Wolbachia regulating the host's reproductive mode. This study found WO phage in the Drosophila melanogaster which infected by Wolbachia using the method of PCR amplification. This showed that WO phage existed in Drosophila melanogaster.
