“…The occurrence of Westeberhardia in C. wroughtonii and in different populations of C. obscurior indicates an ancestral infection and secondary loss of Westeberhardia in OypB. As the impact of facultative symbionts depends on the particular environmental conditions (Dale and Welburn, 2001;Hansen et al, 2007), a shift in diet or different gut microbiota could explain symbiont loss by natural selection. Owing to proximity of host lineages, an alternative, more parsimonious explanation is mutational loss of Westeberhardia and subsequent fixation through drift (Reuter et al, 2005).…”

“…Sodalis is believed nonessential for host survival and reproduction, but a recent study showed that this endosymbiont may positively affect tsetse longevity (30). Tsetse flies have viviparous modes of reproduction and symbiont transmission, wherein three larval instars develop within the female uterus and receive nutrients and the symbionts, Wigglesworthia and Sodalis, through milk gland secretions ("milk gland transmission") (6,9).…”

“…Grouped within the latter designation is Sodalis glossinidius, a tsetse endosymbiont that is closely related to other insect symbionts from Hippoboscid flies (4), grain weevils (5), and lice (6) as well as to important enteric human pathogens including Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Yersinia. Selective elimination of Sodalis results in reduced tsetse longevity (7). Phylogenetic reconstruction analysis using ftsZ indicated that Sodalis from distant tsetse species have undergone minimal coevolution with their hosts, thus signifying the relatively recent establishment of this symbiosis (8).…”
