Abstract

Abstract Wolbachia bacteria (Alphaproteobacteria, Rickettsiales) are worldwide endosymbionts infecting arthropods and nematodes, which, among other effects, interfere with reproduction and the mitochondrial DNA polymorphism of their hosts. Among crustaceans, the bacteria have been mainly found in isopods, but its complete range of hosts is still unknown. We investigated the presence of Wolbachia in 10 species of AeglaLeach, 1820, a freshwater anomuran endemic to southern South America. We found no evidence for the presence of the bacteria, ensuring the reliability of studies employing mitochondrial DNA as molecular markers in aeglids.
