Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia can eliminate males, turn them into females, sterilize uninfected females, or behave as a mutualistic symbiont.

Serratia symbiotica

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Serratia symbiotica infection made aphids more susceptible to most of the tested insecticides than non-infected aphids.

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia (wCle) provisions the bed bug with B vitamins, and its titer increases in relation to bed bug growth and development due to this nutritional contribution.
