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. |

Delia radicumFrance |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Wolbachia infection significantly reduced the hatch rate in infected eggs but improved larvo-nymphal viability, resulting in the same number of adults as uninfected eggs, despite a 1.5% longer total development time. |
