Wolbachia in a major African crop pest increases susceptibility to viral disease rather than protects.

It is suggested that rather than protecting their lepidopteran host from viral infection, Wolbachia instead make them more susceptible to virus infection, which potentially has implications for the biological control of other insect crop pests.
