Arsenophonus sp.

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

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.

the removal of Arsenophonus increased the developmental time of the immature stages and reduced the values of different life-history parameters including nymphal survival rate and adult longevity in the host
