The paper reports the genome of a symbiotic bacterium from Haematomyzus elephantis, showing it has a highly reduced genome and retains B vitamin synthesis pathways, similar to other sucking lice symbionts.

The paper investigates the origin of Neisseriaceae symbionts in rodent lice by analyzing the fur microbiome and proposes a hypothetical genome evolution scenario.

This study analyzes eleven Arsenophonus strains in louse flies, revealing multiple independent origins of symbiosis and differences in B vitamin synthesis capabilities.
