The blind and wingless bee louse fly (Braula coeca) is an aberrant member of the family Drosophilidae that lives as a parasitic inquiline in the hive of the Western honey bee (Apis mellifera). The analysis of its genome identifies a case of horizontal transposon transfer and a striking parallel evolution in a set of ecologically-relevant gene families.

无眼无翅蜂虱蝇（Braula coeca）是果蝇科（Drosophilidae）的异常类群，以寄生寄居的方式生活在西方蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）的蜂巢中。对其基因组的分析发现了一例水平转座子转移事件，同时在一组生态相关基因家族中呈现出显著的趋同演化特征。
