Spiroplasma

Mycoplasmatota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Spiroplasma protects its host against parasitoid attack. The protection is partial, and flies surviving a wasp attack have reduced adult longevity and fecundity.
Natural Enemy Resistance

2015
Bacteria
Intracellular

Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa provided strong protection against L. fabarum and Aphidius colemani, but there was no evidence that $H. defensa$-infected aphids were more resistant to the other parasitoid species.

Frischella perrara

Pseudomonadota

Diceroprocta semicincta

USA, Switzerland

Bacteria
Extracellular

The bacterium Frischella perrara causes the formation of a scab-like structure on the gut epithelium of its host.

Sodalis pierantonius

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Sodalis pierantonius endosymbiont dynamics parallels numerous transcriptional changes in weevil developing adults and affects several biological processes, including metabolism and development.

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

A specific strain of Wolbachia was observed to reduce the initiation of aggressive encounters in Drosophila males, which may be achieved by influencing the production of octopamine.
