Black arrows indicate Wolbachia (red). A. Posterior abdomen containing intestinal tissue and oviduct containing Wolbachia (200μm). B. Ovary tissue showing dense clusters of Wolbachia at the site of maturing oocytes (200μm). C. Wolbachia localized to the follicle epithelium. D (50 μm), E, and F. Close-up of oocytes in the female cricket oviduct showing Wolbachia cells in studding follicles. The nucleus (GV) is visible in the upper oocyte in F. (20 μm) Abbreviations: FE = follicle epithelium; od = oviduct; ov = ovaries; GV = germinal vesicle. Scale bar: 10 μm.
