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.

Arsenophonus sp.

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Arsenophonus sp. can have different effects on its hosts, including obligate mutualism in blood-sucking insects, improving the performance of whiteflies, or through facultative mutualism by protecting psyllids against parasitoid attacks.
