Candidatus Regiella insecticola
Pseudomonadota |
Sitobion avenaeHemiptera |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Regiella infection decreased the intrinsic rate of increase (rm) of aphids at 25 °C and 28 °C. However, at 31 °C, the effect of Regiella on the rm varied depending on the aphid genotype and density. Thus, the negative effects of this endosymbiont on its host were environmentally dependent. |
