Multiorganismal Insects: Diversity and Function of Resident Microorganisms (2014, background): “Examples include the secondary symbionts that determine the resistance of aphids to parasitoids and fungal pathogens used as biological control agents (88, 99); the pesticide-resistant Burkholderia strains that confer pesticide resistance to Riptortus pedestris (63); and bacteria that enable Megacop”
Access to mutualistic endosymbiotic microbes: an underappreciated benefit of group living (2008, background): “First, in the Homoptera, pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) maintain a complex assemblage of endosymbionts that protect them against a variety of pathogens (Moran et al. 2005; Scarborough et al. 2005).”
Bacterial symbionts as mediators of ecologically important traits of insect hosts (2011, background): “, 2005) and, again, Wolbachia in Drosophila have been shown to be effective against entomopathogenic fungi (Scarborough et al., 2005; Panteleev et al., 2007).”
Facultative ‘secondary’ bacterial symbionts and the nutrition of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (2006, background): “Two potential caveats to interpreting these results are: (i) that the impact of secondary symbionts may vary with symbiont and aphid genotypes (Russell & Moran, 2006; Scarborough et al., 2005) and (ii) that aphids may respond differently, either behaviourally or physiologically, to nutrients acquire”
The Bacterial Symbiont Wolbachia Induces Resistance to RNA Viral Infections in Drosophila melanogaster (2008, background): “Other examples are herpesvirus latency-induced protection to Listeria in mice mentioned above [59], the suppression of HIV-1 infection by human herpesvirus 6 in human cells [68], symbiotic bacteria protection against fungi in a shrimp and an aphid [69,70], symbiotic bacteria protection against paras”
Nine facultative endosymbionts in aphids. A review (2017, background): “For instance, infected A. pisum showed a decreased mortality to a fungal entomopathogen Pandora neoaphidis (Ferrari et al., 2004; Scarborough et al., 2005; Łukasik et al., 2013c; 2015).”
Fungal entomopathogens in a tritrophic context (2010, background): “The mechanisms behind this difference are not clear, although it is unrelated to the host plant on which the assays were conducted and there are indications that it might be related to the possession of an endosymbiont (Scarborough et al. 2005).”
The microbiome of pest insects: it is not just bacteria (2019, background): “…defensaMoran et al. can confer protection against parasitoids in pea aphids (Oliver et al., 2003), whereas Regiella insecticola Moran et al. can largely increase pea aphid survival following a fungal infection (Scarborough et al., 2005) and confer resistance to parasitoids (Jamin&Vorburger, 2019).”
The natural occurrence of secondary bacterial symbionts in aphids (2016, background): “For the other symbionts, protection against fungal pathogens by Regiella, Rickettsia, Rickettsiella, and Spiroplasma has been demonstrated in A. pisum (Ferrari et al., 2004; Scarborough et al., 2005; Lukasik et al., 2013c).”
