In this lab activity, students will learn how to isolate genomic DNA from arthropods and Wolbachia bacteria. The goal is to transition from fieldwork to molecular biology, utilizing DNA as a diagnostic tool. The activity involves extracting total genomic DNA from identified species and includes pre-

Wolbachia is a fascinating bacterium known for inducing reproductive parasitism in arthropods, affecting their offspring's sex ratios and survival. This article explores the impact of Wolbachia on different species, genetic crosses, cytoplasmic incompatibility, and vector control strategies such as
