Abstract

A whole-genome assembly and annotation of Wolbachia sp. infecting Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 were generated by a metagenomic analysis of sequencing reads from a host genome project. This study contributes to the characterization of this endosymbiotic bacterium and provides valuable insights for research on host-symbiont interactions and pest management strategies.
