The proliferation and transmission of Wolbachia, derived from Alphaproteobacteria, disrupts the reproductive systems within insect species and some nematodes species. This phenomena have reduced the ability for successful reproduction. Eurema hecabe, the common grass yellow butterfly, those infected, contribute to a complex anomaly. The effects of this infection have altered the sex ratio of the Eurema hecabe .(more text here) Female butterflies have subsequently favored the vertical transmission, proving to create evolutionary changes, advancing interactions with butterflies.
