This project studies the defensive symbiosis between aphids and bacteria that protect them from parasitic wasps. It aims to uncover how these symbionts interact with parasitoid venom and their broader effects on the community of natural enemies, enhancing understanding of biological control methods for aphids.
Many animals acquire new abilities after establishing a symbiotic interaction with a microorganism, and the last decades have revealed the prevalence of defensive symbioses between animals and microorganisms.
One of the best-studied cases are aphids that engage in a symbiotic relationship with a facultative bacteria that protect them against parasitic wasps (parasitoids).
Parasitoids are small wasps that reproduce by injecting an egg as well as toxic venom compounds into their hosts, ultimately…
