Primates, Lice and Bacteria: Speciation and Genome Evolution in the Symbionts of Hominid Lice
Insects with restricted diets rely on symbiotic bacteria to provide essential metabolites missing in their diet. The blood-sucking lice are obligate, host-specific parasites of mammals and are themselves host to symbiotic bacteria. In human lice, these bacterial symbionts supply the lice with B-vita...
