Host‐Symbiont Interactions for Potentially Managing Heteropteran Pests
Insects in the suborder Heteroptera, the so‐called true bugs, include over 40,000 species worldwide. This insect group includes many important agricultural pests and disease vectors, which often have bacterial symbionts associated with them. Some symbionts have coevolved with their hosts to the extent that host fitness is compromised with the removal ...
