title: WOLBACHIA FROM NATURAL POPULATIONS OF DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER FROM UKRAINE
abstract: Determination and identification of the intracellular bacterium Wolbachia were done for 14 natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster from Ukraine in which typing of the bacterium had not been done before. Identification was performed using PCR, and typing was done by aligning the sequences of 16S rRNA and wsp gene fragments. Presence of bacteria was determined in all investigated natural populations of D. melanogaster from Ukraine. They belong to strain wMel.
