Spiroplasma
Mycoplasmatota |
Drosophila hydeiUSA |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Spiroplasma protects its host against parasitoid attack. The protection is partial, and flies surviving a wasp attack have reduced adult longevity and fecundity. |

Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa
Pseudomonadota |
Lysiphlebus fabarumSwitzerland |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa provided strong protection against L. fabarum and Aphidius colemani, but there was no evidence that $H. defensa$-infected aphids were more resistant to the other parasitoid species. |

Frischella perrara
Pseudomonadota |
Diceroprocta semicinctaUSA, Switzerland |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
The bacterium Frischella perrara causes the formation of a scab-like structure on the gut epithelium of its host. |

Wolbachia
Pseudomonadota |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
A specific strain of Wolbachia was observed to reduce the initiation of aggressive encounters in Drosophila males, which may be achieved by influencing the production of octopamine. |

Enterococcus faecalis
Bacillota |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Enterococcus faecalis (an indigenous gut bacterium) facilitates seed consumption by H. pensylvanicus, possibly by contributing digestive enzymes to their host. |
