2021

Buchnera aphidocola

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Buchnera provide the aphid with essential amino acids and nutrients that are limited in the aphid’s diet

2021

Bacteria
Extracellular

infection with H. defensa reduced aphid susceptibility to the investigated insecticides at low concentrations, potentially by increasing detoxification enzyme activity in the host

2021

Serratia symbiotica

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Serratia promoted development and growth of its aphid host through enhancing fatty acid biosynthesis

2021

Pantoea sp.

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

symbiont lead to external morphological changes (e.g. abnormalities in notum and wings) as well as significantly fewer emergence rates (in all stages, except for the first instar);less mating frequency was observed in the aposymbiotic population compared with the control

2021

Serratia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

associated with the long-term larval diapause

2021

Sodalis sp. CWE

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

2021

Pantoea

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

participate in the degradation, utilization of different types of plant materials

2021

Sodalis pierantonius

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

produce vitamins and essential amino acids required for insect development and cuticle biosynthesis

2021

Serratia symbiotica

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

gut pathogens in aphid hosts

2021

Arsenophonus sp.

Pseudomonadota

Vespula penalica

Hymenoptera

Bacteria
Intracellular

Arsenophonus sp. has been negatively associated with honeybee hive health

2021

Providencia sp.

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

may highly associated with diapause

2021

Hamiltonella defensa

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

led to a decrease in aphid feeding on low-quality host plants

2020

Serratia symbiotica

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

impairs plant defence response by suppressing Ca2+ elevation and ROS accumulation, allowing colonization of aphids

2020

Regiella insecticola

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

the survival and fecundity of infected aphids having survived parasitoid wasp Aphelinus asychis attack were clearly reduced compared to the control

2020

Sodalis

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Sodalis infecting B. trigonica was more closely related to symbionts infecting weevils, stink bugs and tsetse flies than to those from psyllid species

2020

Fukatsuia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

facultative symbiont aided the recovery of the obligate symbiont and the host after heat stress

2020

Regiella

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

facultative symbiont aided the recovery of the obligate symbiont and the host after heat stress

2020

Providencia rettgeri

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

improve the sexual competitiveness of males

2020

Enterobacter

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

may help M. alternatus degrade cellulose and pinene
