abstract：:The vertical transmission of Wolbachia in two species of spider mite was investigated and compared. One species, Tetranychus kanzawai Kishida, was infected with a modification negative strain of Wolbachia while the other species, Panonychus mori Yokoyama, was infected with a modification positive strain. The infection...
