WOLBACHIA INSECT PANDEMIC. “In Asobara tabida insects and cell lines from Drosophila simulans flies and Aedes mosquitoes, Wolbachia is involved in iron metabolism of the host. These bacteria can also be transmitted horizontally across species, which has led to a pandemic-level distribution in invertebrates: current estimates place Wolbachia in 66% of all arthropod species.”
