Wolbachia are intracellular bacteria that primarily inhabit the cytoplasm of host cells. They are most commonly found in the reproductive tissues of insects and other arthropods, as well as in some nematodes. Wolbachia do not reside in the nucleus or mitochondria; instead, they live within specialized vacuoles called "Wolbachia-containing vacuoles" in the cytoplasm of their host cells. These bacteria can manipulate the reproductive processes of their hosts, leading to phenomena such as cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis, and feminization.
where do wolbachia cells live? nucleus? mitochondria? cytoplasm?
