Novel but stable endosymbionts have contrasting effects on aphid dispersal and plant feeding damage in the cereal pest Diuraphis noxia

Xinyue Gu, Alexander O. Gill, Qiong Yang, Perran A. Ross, Lucy Hayward, Monica Stelmach, Paul A. Umina, Sheik Nadeem Elahee Doomun, Mel S. Berran, Lauren Coakley, Sonia Sharma, Ary A. Hoffman

This study shows that introducing novel endosymbionts into the aphid Diuraphis noxia alters its dispersal ability and plant feeding damage, with Rickettsiella increasing damage and Regiella reducing it.
