New Insights into Cockroach Control: Using Functional Diversity of Blattella germanica Symbionts
Insects have close symbiotic relationships with several microbes, which extends the limited metabolic networks of most insects. Using symbiotic microorganisms for the biological control of pests and insect-borne diseases has become a promising direction.

Olive Fruit Fly Symbiont Population: Impact of Metamorphosis
The current symbiotic view of the organisms also calls for new approaches in the way we perceive and manage our pest species. The olive fruit fly, the most important olive tree pest, is dependent on an obligate bacterial symbiont to its larvae ...
