Summary
In the host-symbiont-cycle ofEuscelis plebejus and its bacterial symbionts each of both symbionts (‘a’ and ‘t’) appears in an ‘infection form’ during the intraovarial transmission (adult female) as well as during the entrance into the mycetocytes (embryo) and in a ‘vegetative form’ during the remaining time of the cycle.
