The Wolbachia wsp partial gene from the historical 1942 Bemisia specimen (‘Jap_1942’) was most similar to KJ648499, which belonged to the W2 Wolbachia strain isolated from invasive (i.e., MED, MEAM1) and native (Asia I, Asia II3, China 2) B. tabaci cryptic species complex. ‘^†’Indicates the five Wolbachia strains that had sufficient wsp gene sequence at the 5′ region to enable sequence identity comparison with the historical Japanese Wolbachia wsp gene (sequence identity acorss these 5′ end of 106 bp are indicated within parentheses).

Note: GenBank accession numbers provided for Wolbacia strains W1 (KJ648498), W2 (KJ648499), W3 (KJ648500), W4 (KJ648501), W5 (KJ648502), and W6 (KJ648503) are as reported by ref. 33.
