Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia increases the resistance to arbovirus infection, resulting in decreased virus transmission.

2022

Arsenophonus

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Arsenophonus plays a key role in the retention and transmission of CLCuV in the Asia II-1 genetic group of B. tabaci

2022

Rickettsia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Rickettsia could play a crucial role in barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) transmission

2022

Buchnera aphidicola

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

aphid endosymbiont Buchnera aphidicola can facilitate cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) transmission by modulating plant volatile profiles

2021

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbach regulates the host's transcriptional response to viral infection and affects viral replication

2021

Microsporidia MB

Microsporidia

Fungi

impairs Plasmodium transmission

2020

Rickettsia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

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

2020

Bacteria
Extracellular

K. michiganensis BD177 has the strain-specific ability to provide three essential amino acids (phenylalanine, tryptophan and methionine) and two vitamins B (folate and riboflavin) to B. dorsalis

2020

Rickettsia RITBT

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

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

2020

Citrobacter freundii

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Wolbachia wAnga

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

wAnga may influence or interact with the Anopheles microbiota, which may contribute to the impact of wAnga on Anopheles biology and vectorial capacity

2020

Serratia marcescens

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

facilitates arboviral infection through a secreted protein named SmEnhancin, which digests membrane-bound mucins on the mosquito gut epithelia, thereby enhancing viral dissemination.

2019

Bacteria
Extracellular

These bacterial phyla may allow the adults C. maculatus to survive on DDVP treated grains, thereby making it inappropriate to control the beetle populations in the field.

Acinetobacter

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

These bacterial phyla may allow the adults C. maculatus to survive on DDVP treated grains, thereby making it inappropriate to control the beetle populations in the field.
