Figure 3. AliTV linear alignment map of wLfag-FL concatenated transcripts mapped to closely related Wolbachia genomes of wDcit1 and
wSpic. Accession numbers of full genome references are in Table 1. wLfag-FL: Wolbachia endosymbiont of Leuronota fagarae; wDcit1:
Wolbachia endosymbiont of D. citri dawsonii; wSpic: Wolbachia endosymbiont of S. picta.
[Figure 6]. Supplementary Table 2 contains accession numbers of sequences used in the bacterioferritin
protein alignment. Furthermore, direct comparisons of the wLfag-FL transcriptome to full and partially
sequenced Wolbachia genomes from Diaphorina citri hosts identified protein domains of phytanoyl-CoA
dioxygenase and collagen-like proteins associated with metabolic processes in wLfag-FL and other
Wolbachia strains, which are seemingly absent in wDcit sequences.
Proteins secreted by a disease vector are of significance on account of their central role within a broad range
of processes through which an organism can elicit infection and evoke intercellular communication. Of all
