novel strain of spiroplasma found in flower bugs of the genus orius (hemiptera: anthocoridae): transovarial transmission, coexistence with wolbachia and varied population density.spiroplasma, a group of small, wall-less, helical, and motile bacteria belonging to the mollicutes, contains species with diverse life histories. to date, all the spiroplasma strains that are known to be transmitted vertically in arthropod lineages belong to either the spiroplasma ixodetis group or the spiroplasma poulsonii group. here, we found that a unique strain of spiroplasma vertically transmitted in predatory flower bugs of the genus orius belongs to the spiroplasma insolitum group, which ...201424337178
distribution patterns of wolbachia endosymbionts in the closely related flower bugs of the genus orius: implications for coevolution and horizontal transfer.vertical transmission is the primary route of the endosymbiont wolbachia for its own spread among invertebrate hosts, but horizontal transmission between different hosts is believed to have occurred multiple times. however, it is not well known how wolbachia commonly spread among closely related hosts. we focused on the closely related species of the minute pirate bugs belonging to the genus orius, which are important biological control agents in agricultural crops because they are the most usef ...201222450512
