An insect-endosymbiont conundrum [PDF]
Heredity, 2009 Research over the last 20 years has shown that a large fraction of insect species has intimate associations with symbiotic bacteria that often have major effects on their biology. Some symbionts are mutualists increasing their host's fitness, whereas in other cases the host obtains no benefit or even suffers from carrying the micro-organism.

A male-killing Wolbachia endosymbiont is concealed by another endosymbiont and a nuclear suppressor
PLOS Biology, 2023 Bacteria that live inside the cells of insect hosts (endosymbionts) can alter the reproduction of their hosts, including the killing of male offspring (male killing, MK). MK has only been described in a few insects, but this may reflect challenges in detecting MK rather than its rarity.

A Nematode of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge Hydrothermal Vents Harbors a Possible Symbiotic Relationship
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Deep-sea hydrothermal vent meiofauna have been the focus of recent research and the discovery of an abundant well-adapted free-living marine nematode on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge offers new perspectives on adaptations to the vent environment.

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The small brown planthopper Laodelphax striatellus (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is reported to have the endosymbiont Wolbachia, which shows a strong cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) between infected males and uninfected females. In the 2000s, female‐biased L.

Francisella-like Endosymbionts of Ticks
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2000 Ticks affect human and animal health both directly by their blood feeding and indirectly by transmission of many disease-causing bacteria, such as Rickettsia, Ehrlichia, Borrelia, Coxiella, Cowdria, Anaplasma, Aegyptionella, and Tularemia, as well as many viruses (Piesman and Gage, 1996).

Rhizobia: from saprophytes to endosymbionts [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2018 Rhizobia are some of the best-studied plant microbiota. These oligotrophic Alphaproteobacteria or Betaproteobacteria form symbioses with their legume hosts. Rhizobia must exist in soil and compete with other members of the microbiota before infecting legumes and forming N2-fixing bacteroids.

Developmental Integration of Endosymbionts in Insects
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 In endosymbiosis, two independently existing entities are inextricably intertwined such that they behave as a single unit. For multicellular hosts, the endosymbiont must be integrated within the host developmental genetic network to maintain the relationship.

Spiroplasma Isolated From Third-Generation Laboratory Colony Ixodes persulcatus Ticks
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Spiroplasma are vertically-transmitted endosymbionts of ticks and other arthropods. Field-collected Ixodes persulcatus have been reported to harbour Spiroplasma, but nothing is known about their persistence during laboratory colonisation of this tick ...

Effects of Endosymbiont Disruption on the Nutritional Dynamics of the Pea Aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum
Insects, 2018 Pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) is a worldwide pest that feeds exclusively on the phloem sap of numerous host plants. It harbours a well-known primary endosymbiont Buchnera aphidicola that helps to overcome the nutritional deficiency of a plant-based ...
