Intracellular

Hamiltonella defensa (in Aphis fabae) suggests a high specificity of symbiont-conferred resistance, where parasitoids preferentially attack the youngest host stages or discriminate against protected aphids.

Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa 5AT can block the larval development of solitary endoparasitoid wasps (Aphidius ervi and Aphidius eadyi), thereby rescuing the aphid host.

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.
