	Host Insect	Classification	Localization	Function	Function Tags	Year	Edit
Wigglesworthia glossinidia Pseudomonadota	Glossina morsitans USA	Bacteria	Intracellular	Wigglesworthia glossinidia provides symbiont-derived factors, likely B vitamins, which are critical for the proper function of lipid biosynthesis and lipolysis, thereby maintaining Glossina morsitans fecundity.

Wigglesworthia Pseudomonadota	Glossina morsitans USA	Bacteria	Intracellular	Wigglesworthia up-regulates the expression of odorant binding protein six in the gut of intrauterine tsetse larvae, which regulates hematopoietic pathways during tsetse’s larval development.	Other	2017
Wigglesworthia glossinidia Pseudomonadota	Glossina morsitans USA	Bacteria	Intracellular	Wigglesworthia glossinidia synthesizes a large number of B vitamins to supplement the host's nutritional deficiencies.	B Vitamin Supplementation	2017
