Defensive microbial symbionts in Hymenoptera (2014, background): “…to other Hymenoptera and Diptera, honeybees possess a strongly reduced set of immune-related genes (Evans et al. 2006), which may be compensated by the presence of protective microbial symbionts, a strategy that has also been suggested for the pea aphid (Moran et al. 2005; Gerardo et al. 2010).”
Access to mutualistic endosymbiotic microbes: an underappreciated benefit of group living (2008, background): “2002), and aphid (Moran et al. 2005) hosts and produced hypotheses about the onset of the development of these mutualisms.”
Facultative ‘secondary’ bacterial symbionts and the nutrition of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (2006, background): “Recently, Moran et al. (2005a) propose that toxins coded by a lamboid-bacteriophage APSE in H. defensa may promote parasitoid resistance of aphids.”
Viruses manipulate the marine environment (2009, background): “Finally, recent work in the field of entomology has revealed remarkable tripartite symbioses between insects, bacteria and phag”
