Phylogenetic position of the Wolbachia identified from Bemisia afer and B. tabaci putative species based on bacterial wsp gene sequences (512 sites). Wolbachia strains are characterized by the names of their host species. The two Drosophila wsp sequences are the outgroups. The tree was constructed using a TIM3 + G substitution model for Bayesian analysis. Bayesian posterior probabilities are shown on the branches. The sequence obtained in this study is shown in bold. The bar indicates a branch length of 0.1 substitutions/site. The names and sequence GenBank accession numbers are listed in parentheses and Table 1.
