Transovarian Transmission of Blochmannia and Wolbachia Endosymbionts in the Neotropical Weaver Ant Camponotus textor (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
(2018-07-01)
Camponotus is a hyper-diverse ant genus that is associated with the obligate endosymbiont Blochmannia, and often also with Wolbachia, but morphological studies on the location of these bacteria in the queen’s ovaries during ...
Intracellular Symbiotic Bacteria of Camponotus textor, Forel (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
(2017-05-01)
This study focuses on the weaver ant, Camponotus textor, Forel which occurs in some areas of the Brazilian Cerrado and Atlantic Forest, and its symbionts: Blochmannia, an obligate symbiont of Camponotus, and Wolbachia, ...
Microbial Communities in Different Tissues of Atta sexdens rubropilosa Leaf-cutting Ants
(2017-10-01)
Bacterial endosymbionts are common in all insects, and symbiosis has played an integral role in ant evolution. Atta sexdens rubropilosa leaf-cutting ants cultivate their symbiotic fungus using fresh leaves. They need to ...
Coxiella endosymbiont of rhipicephalus microplus modulates tick physiology with a major impact in blood feeding capacity
(Frontiers Media, 2022-05)
In the past decade, metagenomics studies exploring tick microbiota have revealed widespread interactions between bacteria and arthropods, including symbiotic interactions. Functional studies showed that obligate endosymbionts ...
Exploring the bacterial microbiota associated with native South-American species of Aphis (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
(Oxford University Press, 2014-06)
Aphids harbor a variety of bacterial endosymbionts, including the obligate symbiont Buchnera aphidicola and diverse facultative symbionts. The former supplies its host with essential amino acids. The latter are not ...
First identification of bacterial endosymbionts in three South- American spittlebug pests: Notozulia entreriana, Deois mourei and Deois knoblauchii
(Alma Mater Studiorum, Univ Bologna, 2022-06-01)
Spittlebugs cause major pasture damage in the Neotropics. As most xylem-feeders, they depend on microbial symbionts to supply essential amino acids to their diet. Here, the obligate nutritional endosymbiont `Candidatus ...
Response of psychrophilic plant endosymbionts to experimental temperature increase
(2020)
Countless uncertainties remain regarding the effects of global warming on biodiversity, including the ability of organisms to adapt and how that will affect obligate symbiotic relationships. The present study aimed to ...
Consequences of stress induced by heat on fitness of Delphacodes kuscheli and its yeast-like endosymbionts
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-06)
The planthopper Delphacodes kuscheli is the main vector of Mal de Río Cuarto virus in Argentina, disease that severely affects maize production. In this study, we investigated the effects of heat stress on fitness traits ...
