Posterior concentration of Wolbachia during the early embryogenesis of the host dynamically shapes the tissue tropism of Wolbachia in host Trichogramma wasps.

The present work revealed that posterior concentration during early host embryogenesis determined localization in adult wasps. By this mechanism, exhibits efficient vertical transmission across generations by depositing only female -infected offspring. The results of this study describe the dynamics of during the development of their host. The findings of this investigation helped clarify tropism in wasps.
