Coxiella endosymbiont of rhipicephalus microplus modulates tick physiology with a major impact in blood feeding capacity
(Frontiers Media, 2022-05)In the past decade, metagenomics studies exploring tick microbiota have revealed widespread interactions between bacteria and arthropods, including symbiotic interactions. Functional studies showed that obligate endosymbionts ... -
Direct effect of ozone pollution on aphids: revisiting the evidence at individual and population scales
(2015-04)Most of our knowledge about the consequences of tropospheric ozone pollution on aphid–plant interaction assumes the absence of a direct effect of ozone on aphids. However, the biological effects of ozone encompass changes ... -
First identification of bacterial endosymbionts in three South-American spittlebug pests: Notozulia entreriana, Deois mourei and Deois knoblauchii
(Alma Mater Studiorum, Università di Bologna, 2022-06)Spittlebugs cause major pasture damage in the Neotropics. As most xylem-feeders, they depend on microbial symbionts to supply essential amino acids to their diet. Here, the obligate nutritional endosymbiont ‘Candidatus ... -
Stable symbiotic nitrogen fixation under water-deficit field conditions by a stress-tolerant alfalfa microsymbiont and its complete genome sequence : Short communication
(2017-12)We here characterized the stress-tolerant alfalfa microsymbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti B401. B401-treated plants showed high nitrogen fixation rates under humid and semiarid environments. The production of glycine betaine ... -
Symbionts do not affect the mating incompatibility between the Brazilian-1 and Peruvian morphotypes of the Anastrepha fraterculus cryptic species complex
(Springer Nature, 2019-12)The South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus, is clearly undergoing a speciation process. Among others, two of their morphotypes, the Brazilian-1 and Peruvian, have accumulated differences in pre- and post-zygotic ...
