New Research Reveals Brown Widow Spiders in Israel Carry Unique Bacteria

New Research Reveals Brown Widow Spiders in Israel Carry Unique Bacteria

10 July, 2024

 

Brown widow spiders, scientifically known as *Latrodectus geometricus*, are swarming Israel. Recent research reveals that 86% of these spiders carry a strain of Rhabdochlamydia, a bacterium related to Chlamydia. However, it's important to note that bites from these spiders do not transmit Chlamydia.
