Bacteria
Intracellular

Blochmannia floridanus provides essential amino acids to its host and may also play a role in nitrogen recycling via its functional urease.

Bacteria
Extracellular

Candidatus Ishikawella capsulata enhances the pest status of the insect host.

Bacteria

Candidatus Sulcia muelleri GWSS is responsible for essential amino acid biosynthesis.

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Wolbachia influences programmed cell death processes in A. tabida, making its presence essential for the wasps' oocytes to mature.

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia (two different strains, wHecCI2 and wHecFem2) transforms genetic males into functional females, resulting in the production of all-female broods (feminization).

Amylostereum areolatum (Fungi) produces fungal volatiles that elicit increased parasitoid activity and may provide information on relative host densities.

Rickettsia is required for oogenesis in C. dactyliperda.

Candidatus Regiella insecticola reduces winged offspring production and changes the timing of sexual morph production.

Regiella insecticola

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Regiella insecticola protects the aphid from a pathogen.

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Wolbachia infection enhanced the fecundity (fertility) of Exorista sorbillans.

Streptomyces

Actinomycetota

Bacteria
Intracellular and extracellular

Streptomyces protects the cocoon from fungal infestation and significantly enhances the survival probability of the larva, possibly by producing antibiotics.

2005

Bacteria

Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa ameliorates the effects of parasitoid wasp attack by causing the wasp larva to die prematurely, allowing the aphid host to develop and reproduce.
