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

无翅盲蜂虱蝇（Braula coeca）是果蝇科（Drosophilidae）的一类形态异常类群，其以寄生寄居的方式栖息于西方蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）的蜂巢中。对该物种基因组的分析揭示了一例水平转座子转移（horizontal transposon transfer）事件，同时在一组生态相关基因家族中发现了显著的平行演化现象。
