Candidatus Hamiltonella retarded the growth and development of cotton aphids (Aphis gossypii), accompanied by the downregulation of genes related to energy synthesis and nutrient metabolism.

Hamiltonella defensa

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Hamiltonella defensa infection in Rhopalosiphum maidis leads to a shortened developmental duration for the first instar and total nymph stages, reduced survival rate, offspring count, and longevity.

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.

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.

Intracellular

Hamiltonella defensa has a weak effect on the ability of Acyrthosiphon pisum to defend themselves against parasitic wasps Aphidius ervi during the attack and a strong effect on aphid resistance against parasitoid development.

Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa reduced Sitobion miscanthi susceptibility to insecticides at low concentrations, potentially by increasing host detoxification enzyme activity.

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. Arsenophonus and H. defensa contribute to the fitness of A. gossypii by enhancing its performance.
