Buchnera aphidicola
Pseudomonadota |
LachninaeHemiptera |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Buchnera supplies essential nutrients to its hosts for normal development and is the obligate symbiont in nearly all aphid species |

Pseudomonadota |
CalliphoridaeDiptera |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
This intracellular symbiont plays important roles in manipulating invertebrate reproductive biology by killing males, feminization, parthenogenesis or cytoplasmic incompatibility, and it has been extensively studied as a biological control agent for arthropods |

Pseudomonadota |
Sitobion avenaeHemiptera |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
elimination of Buchnera using the antibiotic rifampicin significantly reduced the formation of winged morphs, body mass, and fecundity in S. avenae; may disrupt the nutrient acquisition in aphids and alter transgenerational phenotypic expression |

Spiroplasma
Mycoplasmatota |
Drosophila hydeiDiptera |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Spiroplasma protect their host against parasitoid attack. The Spiroplasma-conferred protection is partial and flies surviving a wasp attack have reduced adult longevity and fecundity |

Burkholderia sp.
Pseudomonadota |
Riptortus pedestrisHemiptera |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
Burkholderia sp. did not affect the development of the host insect but the first oviposition time was in approximately 60% compared with a control group |

Wolbachia
Pseudomonadota |
Sitophilus zeamaisColeoptera |
Bacteria
|

Candidatus Erwinia dacicola
Pseudomonadota |
Bactrocera oleaeDiptera |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular

Bemisia tabaci MEDHemiptera |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Hamiltonella-infected whiteflies produced significantly more eggs, exhibited significantly higher nymphal survival, faster development times, and larger adult body size in comparison with Hamiltonella-free whiteflies, while no evidence of reproductive manipulation by Hamiltonella were found in B. tabaci MED |
