Wolbachia wStri
Pseudomonadota |
Laodelphax striatellusChina |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Wolbachia wStri influences host embryonic development genes, with Ddx1 mRNAs accumulating in the posterior region of 3-day-old embryos, which is required for host viability and germ line development. |

Wolbachia
Pseudomonadota |
Octodonta nipaeChina |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular

Pseudomonadota |
Aedes aegyptiAustralia |
Bacteria
|

Wolbachia pipientis
Pseudomonadota |
Drosophila melanogasterUSA, Austria, Japan |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular

Wolbachia
Pseudomonadota |
Hoplothrips carpathicusPoland |
Bacteria
|

|
Intracellular
|
Wolbachia (wCle) provisions the bed bug with B vitamins, and its titer increases in relation to bed bug growth and development due to this nutritional contribution. |
