Arsenophonus plays a key role in the retention and transmission of Cotton Leaf Curl Virus (CLCuV) in the Asia II-1 genetic group of Bemisia tabaci.

Rickettsia infection in Bemisia tabaci MED stimulates juvenile hormone synthesis, resulting in increased fecundity and a female-biased sex ratio.

Both Bemisia tabaci B and MED show a strong link of the facultative symbiont Rickettsia to transmission of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV).

Candidatus Portiera aleyrodidarum is a primary symbiont that compensates for the deficient nutritional composition of the host's food sources.

Buchnera spp. produces the GroEL chaperone protein, which binds to plant viruses and makes virus transmission efficient (virus interaction).

Rickettsia infection rate shows a significant negative correlation with the whitefly's drug resistance to imidacloprid and thiamethoxam.

Rickettsia induces the expression of genes required for thermotolerance and increases host susceptibility to insecticides.

The ability of B. tabaci Q to acquire, retain, and transmit TYLCV is affected by its S-symbiont Hamiltonella.

Arsenophonus drives sex ratio in the whitefly by facilitating fertilization and provisioning of B vitamins.

Hamiltonella drives sex ratio in the whitefly by facilitating fertilization and provisioning of B vitamins.

Hamiltonella defensa mediates whitefly–plant interactions by suppressing induced plant defenses in tomato.

Hamiltonella increases the growth rate of its host Bemisia tabaci during periods of nutritional stress.

Portiera drives sex ratio in the whitefly by facilitating fertilization and provisioning of B vitamins.

Wolbachia leads to female bias and may affect host resistance, acting as a reproductive manipulator.

Rickettsia RITBT slightly increased the efficiency of Bemisia tabaci in transmitting crimp virus.

Rickettsia protects an invasive whitefly against entomopathogenic Pseudomonas syringae strains.

Candidatus Cardinium increases the thermal tolerance of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci.

Rickettsia influences thermotolerance in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci B biotype.

Hamiltonella confers resistance to parasitoids and increases thermotolerance.

Cardinium acts as a reproductive manipulator.
