Wolbachia are bacterial symbionts of many insects, frequently as reproductive parasites, sometime by establishing mutualistic relationships, able to spread within host populations. Philaenus spumarius harbors Wolbachia, but the role played by this symbiont is unknown and data on the infection prevalence within host populations are limited.

Fatigue is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms also experienced by hemodialysis (HD) patients after HD sessions, and given the non-specific manifestations and its invisible nature, it is under-recognized and under-treated by healthcare professionals. The complexity of fatigue's pathogenesis and the lack of measurement tools make the development of nursing interventions and practices specifically targeted at its recognition and therapy difficult.
