Abstract
Endosymbiotic bacteria closely related to mammalian pathogens are widespread in invertebrates. Mutualistic and parasitic bacteria-host interactions on the various evolutionary levels apparently involve similar factors, indicating that relevant genetic information developed early in evolution. The detailed characterization of symbiotic interactions of bacteria with non-mammalian hosts should provide profound insights into the basic mechanisms of bacteria-host interactions and their evolution.Entities:
