MLST and wsp allele profiles of Wolbachia strains in Greek Cydia populations.

Identical nucleotide sequences at a given locus for different strain were assigned the same arbitrary allele number. Each strain was then identified by the combination of the five MLST allelic numbers, representing its allelic profile. Each unique allelic profile was assigned an ST (Sequence Type), which ultimately characterizes a strain [53]. Wsp profiles are shown in the last left column, respectively.
