Tsetse flies, the vectors of African trypanosomes, feed exclusively on blood and require intracellular microorganisms to provide additional nutrients. In an Advanced Online Publication in Nature Genetics, Leyla Akman and colleagues report the genome sequence of Wigglesworthia glossinidia brevipalpis, the obligate symbiont of the tsetse fly (Nat Genet 2002, DOI:10.1038/ng986).
