Registered in the second pass on the exchange of 2026-10-27, "Repository coverage assessment", at the owner's request to find what it mentioned and did not cite (second curation entry of 2026-10-27). No NOTE is filed, and it stays Unfetched until it is read, not on merit. A lawful free copy was located on 2026-10-27: PubMed Central holds it (PMC5777040) and the publisher's PDF is at pnas.org/content/pnas/115/2/E226.full.pdf.

Cited as “reported in” byCASE-177 — Hodgkinia in cicadas: one endosymbiont splitting into two to dozens of interdependent lineages, with near-complementary gene sets, idiosyncratic fragmentation in Magicicada, and hosts transmitting up to six times as many cells to keep every lineage

Why this is here

A2’s claim that in Tettigades “separate cellular lineages collectively preserve much of the ancestral functionality” rests on LIT-1563, which reports one split. This paper shows the splitting is repeated, so the pattern is not a one-off. Its search results include it. Registered for CASE-177.
