Spiroplasma

Mycoplasmatota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Infection with endosymbiotic Spiroplasma disrupts Glossina fuscipes fuscipes metabolic and reproductive homeostasis by competing for finite nutrients, which negatively impacts female fecundity by increasing the length of intrauterine larval development.

Acyrthosiphon pisum

France, Japan, Engl…

Bacteria
Intracellular

Hamiltonella defensa has a weak effect on the ability of Acyrthosiphon pisum to defend themselves against parasitic wasps Aphidius ervi during the attack and a strong effect on aphid resistance against parasitoid development.

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

The initial colonization by Burkholderia programs the ontogeny of the midgut in Blissus insularis, providing a sheltered residence protected from microbial antagonists.

Bacteria

Burkholderia symbiont strain SFA1 helps Riptortus pedestris to degrade insecticide through a horizontally acquired insecticide-degrading enzyme into the non-insecticidal form.

Nephridiophaga postici

Nephridiophagidae

Blattaria

Germany

Fungi
Extracellular

Nephridiophaga postici infects the Malpighian tubules of Blattaria where especially the lumen can be densely colonised by different life cycle stages.

Enterobacter sp.

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Enterobacter sp. provides benefits to Bactrocera dorsalis males, including significantly increased adult size, pupal weight, survival rate under stress and nutritionally rich conditions, and mating competitiveness.
