S. glossinidius
Dale and Maudlin 1999
Sodalis glossinidius is a species of bacteria, the type and only species of its genus. It is a
microaerophilic secondary
endosymbiont of the
tsetse fly . Strain M1T is the type strain.
[1] Sodalis glossinidius is the only gammaproteobacterial insect symbiont to be cultured and thus amenable to genetic modification, suggesting that it could be used as part of a control strategy by vectoring antitrypanosome genes. The organism may increase the susceptibility of tsetse flies to trypanosomes.
[2]
Despite gene erosion and
pseudogene multiplication in a genome of Sodalis glossinidius ,
[3] these pseudogenes remain actively transcribed.

Parasites
S. glossinidius is itself
host to a
prophage discovered by Clark et al. 2007.
