Non‐Canonical, Somatic‐Dependent Vertical Transmission of Wolbachia in an Aphid

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
We discovered a novel somatic‐associated Wolbachia transmission strategy in cedar bark aphids (Cinara cedri), contrasting with its typical maternal vertical transmission. This unique maternally retained somatic re‐acquisition strategy—a “piggybacking” on the highly efficient obligate symbiont transmission pathway—reveals diverse endosymbiont strategies
