黄蜂Eretmocerus mundus(澳大利亚孤雌生殖形式)感染B群沃尔巴克氏菌。对寄生蜂的抗生素治疗治愈了孤雌生殖，导致雄性繁殖，并减少了处女雌性的卵孵化。对于每一代，感染的雌性比治愈的雌性产生更多的后代。在大多数情况下，接受抗生素治疗的人的后代没有发现可检测到的感染。处理过的雌性和后代雌性都交配并接受精子，但这些精子不被用作交配和未交配的治愈雌性产生具有相似性别比例的后代。抗生素治疗产生的雄性至少有部分功能，因为它们产生精子，并与雌性交配和授精。然而，没有性线可以建立起来。
The thelytokous parasitoid, Eretmocerus mundus (Australian parthenogenetic form) was infected with a species of Group B Wolbachia. Antibiotic treatment of the parasitoid cured parthenogenesis and lead to male production and reduced egg hatching by virgin females. For each generation infected females produced more progeny than cured females. The descendants of individuals treated with antibiotic were in most cases free of a detectable infection. Both treated females and descendant females mated and received sperm, but these were not used as mated and unmated cured females produced offspring with a similar sex ratio. Males produced as a result of the antibiotic treatment were at least partially functional as they produced sperm and copulated with and inseminated females. However, no sexual line could be established.
