wolbacia, endosymbioants

[ROBERT BUTCHER]

Greetings,
I am currently interested in acquiring different strains / isolates of the 
parasitic endosymbioants belonging to the wolbachia (pipentis) sp. If any of 
you notice such contamination in your Drospholia (or indeed any other 
arthropod) stocks then i would greatly appreciate it if you could send a 
small aliqoute of your strain / species culture on to me. Costs etc 
gratefully reimbursed.
Many thanks and happy parasite free culturing!!
