“…In filarial nematodes, PCR amplification and sequencing have shown that Wuchereria bancrofti, Litomosoides sigmodontis, Mansonella ozzardi and all the species examined in the genera Dirofilaria, Onchocerca and Brugia harbor W. pipientis (Sironi et al, 1995;Bandi et al, 1998 andCasiraghi et al, 2001a). In positive species, all the specimens examined have been shown to be infected.…”

“…The intracellular bacterium of D. immitis has been identi¢ed as a close relative of Wolbachia (Sironi et al 1995). Wolbachia is a coherent group of rickettsia-like bacteria infecting a wide range of arthropods, and is placed in the a2 subclass of the proteobacteria (O'Neill et al 1992;Werren et al 1997).…”

“…16S rDNA sequences obtained from the wolbachiae of B. malayi and O. ochengi were aligned to those of the wolbachiae of D. immitis (Sironi et al 1995) and L. sigmodontis (sequence data provided by K. Henkle-Duhrsen), and to all the available 16S rDNA sequences of Wolbachia. Ehrlichia spp., Cowdria ruminantium, and A. marginale 16S rDNA sequences were included as outgroups.…”

“…Les facteurs responsables du mutualisme restent discutés, mais le séquençage et l'analyse du génome des filaires et de celui de leur symbiote bactérien ont permis d'identifier des candidats dont les gènes assurant la synthèse de l'hème par la bactérie [12]. En 1995, cette symbiose a été décrite pour la première fois chez les nématodes [13]. Une quinzaine d'années plus tard, cette découverte apparaît comme l'une des plus importantes dans le domaine des pathologies associées à ces filaires.…”
