Citrobacter freundii
Pseudomonadota |
Leptinotarsa decemlineataRussian |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
Citrobacter freundii affects the cellular and humoral immunity of Leptinotarsa decemlineata, thereby increasing its susceptibility to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). |

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. |

Candidatus Ishikawaella
Pseudomonadota |
Megacopta punctatissimaJapan |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
Candidatus Ishikawaella compensates for the host's demand for essential amino acids (including branched-chain and aromatic amino acids); its removal causes severe shortfalls in Megacopta punctatissima. |

Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa
Pseudomonadota |
Acyrthosiphon pisumEngland |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa modifies the anti-predator behavior of Acyrthosiphon pisum by causing the aphids to exhibit proportionately fewer evasive defences (dropping and walking away) and more frequent aggressive kicking in response to ladybirds. |

Macrosiphum euphorbiaeEngland |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa causes the infected Macrosiphum euphorbiae group to show greater differentiation in anti-predator behaviors in response to different predators (ladybirds and lacewings) than the uninfected lines. |
