Arsenophonus sp. Pseudomonadota	Agonoscena pistaciae Iran	Bacteria	Extracellular			2023
Arsenophonus sp. Pseudomonadota	Vespula penalica USA	Bacteria	Intracellular	Arsenophonus sp. has been negatively associated with honeybee hive health based on observations in Vespula penalica.	Other	2021
Arsenophonus sp. Pseudomonadota	Aphis gossypii Iran	Bacteria	Intracellular	Arsenophonus sp. (secondary symbiont reduction) led to reduction of the total life span and intrinsic rate of natural increase as well as appearance of deformed dead offspring in Aphis gossypii.

Hamiltonella defensa Pseudomonadota	Aphis gossypii Iran	Bacteria	Intracellular	Hamiltonella defensa (secondary symbiont reduction) led to reduction of the total life span and intrinsic rate of natural increase as well as appearance of deformed dead offspring in Aphis gossypii. H. defensa and Arsenophonus contribute to the fitness of A. gossypii by enhancing its performance.	Growth Regulation Fertility	2020
Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa Pseudomonadota	Aphis gossypii Iran	Bacteria		Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa (symbiont reduction) led to reduction of the total life span and intrinsic rate of natural increase as well as appearance of deformed dead offspring in Aphis gossypii.	Growth Regulation Developmental Modulation	2020
Arsenophonus sp. Pseudomonadota	Aphis gossypii Colombia	Bacteria	Intracellular	Arsenophonus sp. can have varying effects on its host, including obligate mutualism, improving whitefly performance, or facultative mutualism by protecting psyllids against parasitoid attacks.
