Sulfadiazine fails to eliminate Wolbachia but restore entirely arrhenotokous and bisexual reproduction in thelytokous Trichogramma pretiosum (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)

Through curing experiments (antibiotics and high temperature), crossing experiments, and high-throughput 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing (rRNA-seq), we investigated the role of Wolbachia in reproductive biology of three thelytokous Trichogramma spp (T. pretiosum, T. cacoeciae, and T. embryophagum).
