Spiroplasma

Mycoplasmatota

Anopheles gambiae

Burkina Faso

Bacteria
Intracellular

Spiroplasma may have reproductive interactions with mosquito hosts, either by providing an indirect fitness advantage to females by inducing male killing or by directly protecting the host against natural pathogens.

Bacteria
Intracellular

Spiroplasma may have reproductive interactions with mosquito hosts, either by providing an indirect fitness advantage to females by inducing male killing or by directly protecting the host against natural pathogens.

2016

Bacteria
Intracellular

Spiroplasma poulsonii supports the hypothesis that competition for host lipids underlies symbiont-mediated protection against parasitoid wasps.

2016

Fungi
Extracellular

Raffaelea lauricola (Fungi) acts as a host tree pathogen and provides nutrition during invasion.

2016

Fungi
Extracellular

Leptographium procerum (Fungi) induces host pines to produce 3-carene, an attractant of the beetle.

2016

Nardonella

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Candidatus Nardonella might not be playing critical roles in the reproduction of L. oryzophilus.

Pentalonia nigronervosa

MadagascarBurundi, …

Bacteria
Intracellular

Buchnera aphidicola (BPn) provides essential amino acids to its host that are absent in plant phloem.

Pentalonia nigronervosa

MadagascarBurundi, …

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia sp. (wPn) increases the host's production of reactive oxygen species and its antioxidant system.

2015

Bacteria and Fungi

Termite gut microbiome (amplicon) is comprised of gut symbionts that are major recyclers of lignocellulosic biomass.

Wolbachia wCcep

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia wCcep induces reproductive incompatibility in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci.

2015

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia does not affect the development of the host female reproductive tract and eggs, but it enhances the host-searching ability of female wasps.

Buchnera

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Elimination of Buchnera significantly reduced the formation of winged morphs, body mass, and fecundity in S. avenae; it may disrupt nutrient acquisition in aphids and alter transgenerational phenotypic expression.

2015

Fungi
Extracellular

Amylostereum areolatum (Fungi) volatiles attract female S. noctilio.

2015

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Burkholderia gut symbionts positively affect the Riptortus systemic immunity through stronger humoral immunity.
