“…Similarly, bees only accidentally bear S. cerevisiae , with only 1 occurrence over 21 reported cases ( Sandhu and Waraich, 1985 ; Lachance et al, 2003 ; Rosa et al, 2003 ; Daniel et al, 2013 ; Charron et al, 2014 ; Saksinchai et al, 2015 ). Conversely, S. cerevisiae has been found in a large portion of investigated flies, fruit flies, honey-bees, and wasps (29, 57, 20, and 71%, respectively) ( Phaff and Knapp, 1956 ; Batra et al, 1973 ; Sandhu and Waraich, 1985 ; Morais et al, 1993 , 1994 ; Rosa et al, 1994 ; Lachance et al, 1995 , 2003 , 2006 ; Suh et al, 2005 ; Nguyen et al, 2006 , 2007 ; Basukriadi et al, 2010 ; Goddard et al, 2010 ; Chandler et al, 2012 ; de Vega et al, 2012 ; Hamby et al, 2012 ; Stefanini et al, 2012 ; Freitas et al, 2013 ; Buser et al, 2014 ; Charron et al, 2014 ; Lam and Howell, 2015 ; Saksinchai et al, 2015 ; Batista et al, 2017 ; Deutscher et al, 2017 ; Jimenez et al, 2017 ; Piper et al, 2017 ; Quan and Eisen, 2018 ; Siavoshi et al, 2018 ; dos Santos et al, 2019 ; Meriggi et al, 2019 ; Park et al, 2019 ). A few possible scenarios could explain the higher occurrence of S. cerevisiae in these groups of insects: (i) they are more prone to visit human-related environments, such as wineries and vineyards, that are likely to host higher amounts of S. cerevisiae cells, (ii) they are more attracted by substrates inhabited by the budding yeast compared to other insects, (iii) diet and physical-chemical intestine conditions facilitate the housing of S. cerevisiae .…”
