Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia has been reported both to extend and shorten longevity; its lifespan-modulating effects are proposed to involve pathways like insulin/insulin-like growth factor, immune deficiency, ecdysteroid synthesis, and heat shock protein synthesis/autophagy.
