Phylogeny of the Wolbachia identified from Bemisia afer and cryptic species of the B. tabaci complex based on bacterial rrs gene sequences (592 sites). Wolbachia strains are characterized by the names of their host species. The tree was constructed using a TPM1uf + G substitution model for Bayesian analysis. Bayesian posterior probabilities are shown on the branches. Sequences obtained in this study are shown in bold. The bar indicates a branch length of 0.1 substitutions/site. The sequence names and GenBank accession numbers are listed in Tables A4 and A6.
