No fitness costs are induced by Spiroplasma infections of Aphis citricidus reared on two different host plants [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of BiologyAphids can harbor several secondary symbionts that alter important aphid-related ecological traits, such as defense against natural enemies, heat tolerance and host plant utilization.

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.

Cell Division by Longitudinal Scission in the Insect Endosymbiont
mBio, 2016 Spiroplasma bacteria are highly motile bacteria with no cell wall and a helical morphology. This clade includes many vertically transmitted insect endosymbionts, including Spiroplasma poulsonii, a natural endosymbiont of Drosophila melanogaster.

Rapid molecular evolution of Spiroplasma symbionts of Drosophila
bioRxiv, 2020 Spiroplasma are a group of Mollicutes whose members include plant pathogens, insect pathogens, and endosymbionts of animals. In arthropods, Spiroplasma are found across a broad host range, but typically with lower incidence than other bacteria with ...

bioRxiv, 2020 The outcome of natural enemy attack in insects has commonly been found to be influenced by the presence of protective symbionts in the host. The degree to which protection functions in natural populations, however, will depend on the robustness of the ...

Exploring Spiroplasma Biology: Opportunities and Challenges
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Spiroplasmas are cell-wall-deficient helical bacteria belonging to the class Mollicutes. Their ability to maintain a helical shape in the absence of cell wall and their motility in the absence of external appendages have attracted attention from the ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The results reveal an increase in insecticide expenditures for controlling corn leafhoppers, highlighting the need for integrated pest management and sustainable agricultural practices to mitigate economic and environmental impacts. Abstract BACKGROUND The corn leafhopper (Dalbulus maidis) has caused significant losses to corn crops, mainly due to the ...

Variable incidence of Spiroplasma infections in natural populations of Drosophila species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Spiroplasma is widespread as a heritable bacterial symbiont in insects and some other invertebrates, in which it sometimes acts as a male-killer and causes female-biased sex ratios in hosts.
