Recent infection by Wolbachia alters microbial communities in wild Laodelphax striatellus populations
2 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Host-associated microbial communities play an important role in the fitness of insect hosts. However, the factors shaping microbial communities in wild populations, including genetic background, ecological factors, and interactions among microbial species, remain largely unknown. RESULTS: Here, we surveyed microbial communities of the small brown planthopper (SBPH, Laodelphax striatellus) across 17...
