Serratia
Pseudomonadota |
Anopheles sinensisSouth Korea |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
Serratia might block the sporogonic development of P. vivax parasites (by analogy to S. marcescens in An. albimanus), conferring pathogen resistance in Anopheles sinensis. |

Serratia marcescens
Pseudomonadota |
Spodoptera lituraIndia |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
Serratia marcescens is a pathogenic bacterium whose ingestion negatively affects the development and nutritional physiology of Spodoptera litura. Its successful establishment degrades the gut wall and invades the haemocoel, causing host death. |

Serratia
Pseudomonadota |
Monochamus alternatusChina |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
Serratia shows strong inhibitory activity against the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana by reducing fungal conidial germination and growth in Monochamus alternatus. |

Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Caballeronia prevents the successful, long-term establishment of the phytopathogenic bacterium Serratia marcescens in the squash bug Anasa tristis via competitive exclusion. |

Serratia symbiotica
Pseudomonadota |
Acyrthosiphon pisumChina |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Serratia symbiotica inhibits the process of regression from winged to wingless morph (apterization) in Acyrthosiphon pisum, increases the body weight of nymphs, and temporally increases the quantity of the primary symbiont Buchnera aphidicola. |

Extracellular
|
Gut bacteria (Abundance of Pseudomonas increased, but Serratia and Enterobacter decreased) are affected by host diet (D. superans larvae) and the dominant bacteria Enterococcus is shared by Lymantria dispar larvae fed on aconitine-treated and nicotine-treated diets. |
