| Morphology | Wolbachia |
| CELLULAR |
| Staining | Heterogeneous group of small rods and coccoid forms which morphologically resemble either Rickettsia or Chlamydia. Gram-negative. Stain well with Giemsa and some with Gimnez stain, but poorly with most bacterial stains. Cultural requirements quite variable. Associated with arthropods. May induce reproductive incompatibility in their hosts, but otherwise not pathogenic for invertebrates or vertebrates. Extracellular or intracellular, but seldom developing inside mycetomes. |
