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.

盲无翅蜂虱蝇（Braula coeca）是果蝇科（Drosophilidae）的一个异常类群，以寄生寄居的方式栖息于西方蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）的蜂巢内。对其基因组的分析发现了一起水平转座子转移事件，并揭示出一组生态相关基因家族中存在显著的平行演化现象。
