“…There is growing evidence for the inter- and intra-specific horizontal transmission of endosymbionts among arthropod species revealing taxonomically far species carrying identical strains of endosymbionts ( Ahmed et al., 2010 ; Zhang et al., 2013 ; Qi et al., 2019 ; Karut et al., 2020 ; Ren et al., 2020 ). Furthermore, transmission via parasitoids or other ecological interactions has long been proposed to mediate the horizontal transfer of endosymbionts from one species to another ( Ahmed et al., 2015 ; Li et al., 2017a ; Li et al., 2017b ).…”

“…The ecological dynamics of endosymbionts in their inter- and intra-specific horizontal transmission and their interactions with insect hosts and their parasitoids could be the focus of future research ( Karut et al., 2020 ; Bao et al., 2021 ). In this study, we provided a novel evidence for the parasitoid-vectored horizontal transmission of bacterial endosymbiont Rickettsia between different whitefly hosts.…”

“…Secondary endosymbionts on the other hand are not essential for host survival; however, recent studies have revealed that they play other important roles in ecological and evolutionary phenomena, such as manipulating reproduction of their hosts ( Segoli et al., 2013 ; Baldini et al., 2014 ; Staudacher et al., 2017 ; Thongprem et al., 2020 ; Wang et al., 2020 ; Candasamy et al., 2022 ; Li et al., 2022 ). Normally, many arthropod individuals harbor more than one species of endosymbionts, and they are mainly inherited vertically from mother to offspring with high fidelity, which is higher than 99.0% homology between the generations ( Karut et al., 2020 ; Shan et al., 2020 ). However, their intra- or interspecifically horizontal transmission can also occur ( Chiel et al., 2009 ; Oliver et al., 2010 ; Li et al., 2017a ; Liu et al., 2020b ).…”

Intracellular bacterial endosymbionts of arthropods are mainly transmitted vertically from mother to offspring, but phylogenetically distant insect hosts often harbor identical endosymbionts, indicating that horizontal transmission from one species to another occurs in nature. Here, we investigated the parasitoid Encarsia formosa-mediated horizontal transmission of the endosymbiont Rickettsia between different populations of whitefly Bemisia tabaci MEAM1. Rickettsia was successfully transmitted from the positive MEAM1 nymphs (R+) into E. formosa and retained at least for 48 h in E. formosa adults. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) visualization results revealed that the ovipositors, mouthparts, and digestive tract of parasitoid adults get contaminated with Rickettsia. Random non-lethal probing of Rickettisia-negative (R−) MEAM1 nymphs by these Rickettsia-carrying E. formosa resulted in newly infected MEAM1 nymphs, and the vertical transmission of Rickettsia within the recipient females can remain at least up to F3 generation. Further phylogenetic analyses revealed that Rickettsia had high fidelity during the horizontal transmission in whiteflies and parasitoids. Our findings may help to explain why Rickettsia bacteria are so abundant in arthropods and suggest that, in some insect species that shared the same parasitoids, Rickettsia may be maintained in populations by horizontal transmission.

“…The Wolbachia bacterium has been proposed as a regulatory tool for Zika and/or dengue bearing mosquitoes [39][40][41]. Studies on the occurrence of Wolbachia in insect pests of crops mainly concern Diptera [25,26], Acari [24,42] and phytophagous Hemiptera [43][44][45][46][47][48]. Of all the studies carried out, very few have been conducted on aquatic insects and even fewer on marine insects.…”

Evidence of new strains of Wolbachia symbiont colonising semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera: Gerroidea) in mangrove environment of the Lesser Antilles

Wolbachia Hertig, 1936 is an intracellular bacterial symbiont colonizing many arthropods. Of the studies done on the bacteria present in the superfamily Gerroidea Leach, 1815, no report of Wolbachia infection had yet been made. Thus, we checked the presence of Wolbachia in six Gerroidea species which colonize tropical aquatic environments by PCR using wsp primer set before sequencing and phylogenetic analyses. Insects were collected in the marine fringe of mangroves, in river estuaries, in swampy mangroves, and in ponds from Guadeloupe islands (Caribbean). Two new strains of Wolbachia were detected in these Gerroidea. They were named wLfran and wRmang. The wsp sequences suggest that the strains belong to the already described E supergroup or similar. wLfran is present in Limnogonus franciscanus Stål, 1859 and Rheumatobates trinitatis (China, 1943) while wRmang appears to be present exclusively in R. mangrovensis (China, 1943). Three other species were analysed, but did not appear to be infected: Brachymetra albinerva (Amyot & Serville, 1843), Halobates micans Eschscheltz, 1822, and Microvelia pulchella Westwood, 1834. The results presented here highlight for the first time the presence of new intracellular Wolbachia strains in Gerroidea colonising tropical aquatic environments like mangrove habitats from inlands to sea shore.

“…A mosca branca é, reconhecidamente, uma das maiores pragas da agricultura e da horticultura, que afeta também plantas ornamentais, inclusive em estufas, em praticamente todos os países do mundo [63]. Os grandes prejuízos econômicos causados pela mosca branca em lavouras de tomate, feijão, soja, amendoim e algodão estão associados não apenas aos efeitos diretos de sua alimentação, mas também à sua capacidade de transmitir vírus patogênicos letais à planta [64].…”
