symbiont contained organophosphorus-degrading MBL-fold metallo-hydrolase gene. Additionally, the bacterium could colonize the insect midgut stably and enhance the host survivorship when exposed to dimethoate

Serratia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Serratia marcescens is known to block the sporogonic development of P. vivax parasites in An. albimanus

Serratia marcescens

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

The ingestion of bacteria negatively affected the development and nutritional physiology of insect. The bacteria after successful establishment started degrading the gut wall and invaded the haemocoel thereby causing the death of the host.

Serratia marcescens

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
