Abstract
Conditions for flow cytometric evaluation of the intracellular bacterium, Wolbachia pipientis, in infected mosquito cells are described. This approach will streamline investigation of Wolbachia's interactions with host cells and facilitate identification of culture conditions that select for Wolbachia-infected cells.
