Abstract
Psyllids are insects that harbor endosymbionts (Candidatuus Carsonella rudd ii) within specialized cells found in the insect's body cavity. Previous ph ylogenetic analyses based on endosymbiont 16S-23S ribosomal DNA and a host gene were concordant (M.L. Thao, et al., Appl. Env. Microbiol. 66:2898, 200 0), Additional analyses with atpAGD and rpoBC gave similar frees showing th e agreement expected from organisms that evolve through vertical transmissi on with no gene exchange.
