Q

What makes Wolbachia endosymbiotic? Reproduction?

A

Being the most infectious bacterial genus in the world, Wolbachia can infect insects and is used for biological control. For example, Mosquitos that carry the Dengue virus cannot spread it if they are infected with Wolbachia and it does not kill the organism but it infects its eggs.
