Rhodnius prolixus harbouring R. rhodnii developed faster, had higher survival, and laid more eggs

2023

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Burkholderia had a significant positive effect on host developmental rate and body weight.

Bacteria
Extracellular

Burkholderia had a significant positive effect on host developmental rate and body weight.

2022

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Symbiotic nymphs grew more rapidly, were approximately four times more likely to survive to adulthood than aposymbiotic bugs, and were two times larger

2022

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Symbiotic nymphs grew more rapidly, were approximately four times more likely to survive to adulthood than aposymbiotic bugs, and were two times larger

2022

Spiroplasma

Mycoplasmatota

Bacteria
Extracellular

in old flies, display neurodegenerative phenotypes and have a reduced life span compared to uninfected controls

2022

Bacteria
Extracellular

Comparative transcriptomics highlights genes associated with development and response to microorganisms

2022

Cardinium

Bacteroidota

Bacteria
Intracellular

reduce microbiome diversity and modify host metabolism and fecundity

2022

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

reduce microbiome diversity and modify host metabolism and fecundity

2022

Bacteria
Extracellular

can enhance the growth of fall armyworm, but these effects arecontingent on dietary conditions, isolate availability, and host larval instar

2022

Serratia symbiotica

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

process of regression from winged to wingless morph was inhibited by Serratia symbiotica. The existence of the symbiont did not affect the body mass and fecundity of adult aphids, but it increased the body weight of nymphs and temporally increased the quantity of a primary symbiont, Buchnera aphidicola

2022

Enterococcus

Bacillota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Have the function of nutrient absorption, energy metabolism, the plant’s secondary metabolites degradation, insect immunity regulation, and so on

2022

Lactobacillus

Bacillota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Have the function of nutrient absorption, energy metabolism, the plant’s secondary metabolites degradation, insect immunity regulation, and so on

2022

Bacteria
Extracellular

contribute an essential role to the nutrition intake and development of C. medinalis.

2022

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

modulates metabolism and immunity during Aedes fluviatilis oogenesis

2022

Bacteria
Extracellular

shown to be highly abundant in a specific portion of the gut and necessary for the host development

2021

Bacillus sp.

Bacillota

Bacteria
Extracellular

without this midgut flora showed delayed development to become adult

2021

Fungi
Intracellular

Symptoms in infected adults were identified by an abnormal abdomen with malformation of the second pair of wings, impairing their flight activity.

2021

Spiroplasma

Mycoplasmatota

Bacteria
Intracellular

the bacterium and tsetse host compete for finite nutrients, which negatively impact female fecundity by increasing the length of intrauterine larval development

2021

Enterobacter sp.

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

be beneficial, with some quality control indices, such as adult size, pupal weight, survival rate under stress and nutritionally rich conditions, and mating competitiveness, being significantly increased, while slight nonsignificant increases in emergence rate and flight ability were observed
