Wolbachia and the insect immune system: What reactive oxygen species can tell us about the mechanisms of Wolbachia—host interactions
Wolbachia are intracellular bacteria that infect a vast range of arthropod species, making them one of the most prevalent endosymbionts in the world. Wolbachia's stunning evolutionary success is mostly due to their reproductive parasitism but also to mutualistic effects such as increased host f...
