Sodalis praecaptivus

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular and Extracellular

Sodalis praecaptivus plays an important role in modulating the interaction between Nezara viridula and host plants, and is a target for pest control strategies.

Sodalis pierantonius

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Sodalis pierantonius (based on gene expression analysis) may influence host immunity, metabolism, metal control, apoptosis, and bacterial stress response in the cereal weevil, Sitophilus oryzae.

Sodalis

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Sodalis infecting Bactericera trigonica was more closely related to symbionts infecting weevils, stink bugs, and tsetse flies than to those from psyllid species.
