Intracellular

Arsenophonus sp. can have varying effects on its host, including obligate mutualism, improving whitefly performance, or facultative mutualism by protecting psyllids against parasitoid attacks.

Arsenophonus

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Arsenophonus is essential for normal host development, as its removal increases developmental time and reduces life-history parameters like nymphal survival rate and adult longevity.
