Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wolbachia is a genus of intracellular bacteria that primarily infect arthropods such as crustaceans and insects. They are known to manipulate the reproductive biology of their hosts, and have also been found in some nematodes. Coxiella and Klebsiella are not typically associated with arthropod hosts, while Roseospirillum is a genus of spiral-shaped bacteria, not bacillus-shaped.
