“…albopictus cell culture fluid and from tissues were identical, confirming that the bacterium obtained in culture was the same organism found in the tissues of T. infestans. Comparison of a consensus sequence with 16s rDNA sequences from other selected eubacteria revealed that TI1 was a member of the 7-3 subdivision of the class Proteobacteriu, a group containing many other insect symbionts, including the symbionts of aphids, weevils, whiteflies, and tsetse (1,6,9,11,31,34). The phylogenetic tree (Fig.…”

An intracellular symbiotic bacterium was isolated from the hemolymph of Triatorna infestans and cultured in an Aedes albopictus cell line. 16s ribosomal DNA sequence analysis revealed that the bacterium was a member of the y-3 subgroup of the class Proteobacteria, having 96.2% sequence identity with the most closely related bacterium, Arsenophonus nasoniae, the causative agent of the son-killer trait in the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis. These bacteria share morphological features and a common tissue distribution and transmission mode. The A. nasoniae-T. infestans symbiont branch represents a lineage of insect symbionts which may be capable of horizontal transmission between phylogenetically distant host insects. We propose that the intracellular symbiont from T. infestans be classified as "Candidatus Arsenophonus triatominarum." The bacterium found in the hemocytes of T. infestans is designated the type strain of this species.

“…It was also found that there were more than one species of Wolbachia present in insects. Around the same time, the endosymbiont bacteria associated with whitefl y were discovered and found to differ from those of aphids [12]. Subsequently, a number of studies have brought out the diversity of gut bacteria in different insect groups.…”

Insects are amongst the most successful of animals, both in terms of diversity and in colonizing all ecological niches. Recent studies have highlighted the benefi ciary roles that bacteria play in the success and establishment of insects. By adopting techniques like 16S rRNA sequencing we are now in a position to understand the diversity of bacteria present in insect guts. It has been shown that some of these bacteria, like Wolbachia and Cardinium are involved in manipulating insect populations and distorting their sex ratio. Attempts have been made to culture these bacteria in insect cell lines, as they are recalcitrant to culture under normal microbiological conditions. The diversity of bacteria associated with insects and the functional role played by them in the insect is discussed below.

“…This distinction is recognized on the basis of host tissue distribution, with 'primary (P) endosymbionts ' residing exclusively within a single (specialized) cell type and ' secondary (S) endosymbionts' residing in multiple host tissues. While phylogenetic analysis has proved useful for determining the taxonomic position of several insect endosymbionts (Aksoy, 1995 ;Beard et al, 1993b;Campbell et al, 1992;Clark et al, 1992;Hypsa & Dale, 1997;Munson et al, 1991 ;O'Neill et al, 1992O'Neill et al, , 1993Unterman et al, 1989) these fastidious bacteria have proved refractory to conventional culture techniques and consequently t Present address: Department of Biology, University of York, Heslington, York YO1 5YW, UK.…”
