StatusUnfetched — filed 2026-10-27, not read. 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 (PMC8879801), the bioRxiv preprint is at biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/199760v1, and the publisher's free PDF is at cell.com/article/S0960982217313118/pdf. This client could not fetch it: the publisher, repository and preprint hosts named answered with a challenge, a rate limit or a non-PDF page.

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

Not read. The summary is drawn from the abstract. A reading should check it first.

Why this is here

The second of the two works behind A2’s unnamed “other cicadas show extensive genome fragmentation”, with LIT-1612. Registered for CASE-177.
