- Title

- Authors
Salunke, Bipinchandra K.; Salunkhe, Rahul C.; Patole, Milind S.; Shouche, Yogesh S.
- Abstract
In this article, the authors discuss the association between Wolbachia and termites. The authors discuss the symbiotic associations of Wolbachia with arthropod and nematode hosts such as parasitism and mutualism. They note that Wolbachia occurs in various termite families including Termopsidae, Kalotermitidae, and Serritermitidae. They mention that studying the effects of Wolbachia parasitism on individual termite hosts may offer information on the behaviour of termites.
