Bayesian inference phylogeny based on the Entomoplasmatales 16S rRNA gene sequence (301 bp). The strains present in Bactrocera and Z. cucurbitae are indicated in bold letters. Most samples represent the Entomoplasma and Mesoplasma-Mycoplasma groups while three sequences represent the Ixodetis and Citri groups of Spiroplasma. The Ixodetis, Citri and Apis clades are shown to the right of the Spiroplasma species names. Bayesian posterior probabilities based on 1000 replicates are given (only values > 50% are indicated; Haloarcula quadrata used as outgroup). For each strain, their GenBank accession number is also given on the left. Two sequences were removed due to short length (one fromB. dorsalis and one fromZ. tau). Parentheses on the right of the name indicate number of sequences from that population
