	Host Insect	Classification	Localization	Function	Function Tags	Year	Edit
Rickettsiella Pseudomonadota	Myzus persicae Australia	Bacteria		Rickettsiella infection causes reduced aphid fecundity, decreased heat tolerance, and modified aphid body color (from light to dark green) in Myzus persicae.	Fertility Pigmentation Alteration Temparature Adaptation	2023
Rickettsiella viridis Pseudomonadota	Myzus persicae Australia	Bacteria		Rickettsiella viridis endosymbiont infection leads to parasitoids (Diaeretiella rapae) showing a preference for probing infected aphids (Myzus persicae).	Pathogen Interaction	2023
gut bacteria	Agrilus planipennis Russia	Bacteria	Extracellular			2022
Rickettsiella sp. Pseudomonadota	Acyrthosiphon pisum England	Bacteria		The absence of a single-injected isolate of Rickettsiella sp. also led to an attraction of wasps to plants fed on by aphids without secondary symbionts.	Natural Enemy Resistance	2017
Hamiltonella defensa Pseudomonadota	Acyrthosiphon pisum USA, Germany, France	Bacteria	Intracellular	Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa and Rickettsiella viridis co-infection causes aphid larvae to become darker green.	Pigmentation Alteration	2015
Rickettsiella viridis Pseudomonadota	Acyrthosiphon pisum USA, Germany, France	Bacteria	Intracellular	Rickettsiella viridis infection causes young red aphid larvae to become greener at adulthood, which can reduce predation risk.	Pigmentation Alteration	2015
Rickettsiella Pseudomonadota	Acyrthosiphon pisum England	Bacteria	Intracellular	Rickettsiella (in Acyrthosiphon pisum) protects against the entomopathogen Pandora neoaphidis by reducing mortality and decreasing fungal sporulation on dead aphids.	Pathogen Resistance	2013
Rickettsiella Pseudomonadota	Acyrthosiphon pisum France, England	Bacteria	Intracellular	Rickettsiella changes the insects' body color from red to green in natural populations.	Pigmentation Alteration	2010
Rickettsiella Pseudomonadota	Acyrthosiphon pisum France, England	Bacteria		Rickettsiella changes the insects' body color from red to green by increasing blue-green polycyclic quinones while having less effect on yellow-red carotenoid pigments.	Pigmentation Alteration	2010
