Abstract
We screened 38 species of mollusks for infection by Wolbachia, a bacterium that is a common endosymbiont in arthropods, where it induces alterations in reproduction. Using a PCR assay, we could not detect the symbiont in any of the samples, indicating that, in mollusks, it might be absent. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.Entities:
