Effects of parasitism on aphid nutritional and protective symbioses.

Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2014

Martinez Adam J, Weldon Stephanie R, Oliver Kerry M

Abstract excerpt

Insects often carry heritable symbionts that negotiate interactions with food plants or natural enemies. All pea aphids, Acyrthosiphon pisum, require infection with the nutritional symbiont Buchnera, and many are also infected with Hamiltonella, which protects against the parasitoid Aphidius ervi. Hamiltonella-based protection requires bacteriophages called APSEs with protection levels varying by strain and...
