The host insects infected with these mutants exhibited significantly smaller body size than the host insects infected with the wildtype strain of the Burkholderia symbiont, which is likely due to the lower infection density of the symbiont mutants in the host midgut compared with the wildtype strain

With the antibiotic, nymphal growth was remarkably retarded, and a number of nymphs either died or failed to attain adulthood

Oral administration of tetracycline to nymphal N. cincticeps resulted in retarded growth, high mortality rates, and failure in adult emergence, suggesting important biological roles of the symbionts for the host insect

play a beneficial role in the normal development of An. stephensi larvae

treatments of nymphs resulted in retarded development and high mortality of B. insularis, indicating a beneficial impact of Burkholderia on its ho

could shorten the developmental time of nymphs and had no effect on the fecundity of females

if this symbiont is not acquired, giant mesquite bugs experience higher mortality

endosymbiont is involved in normal growth and development of the host weevil
