Michalik, A., Michalik, K., Grzywacz, B., Kalandyk-Kolodziejczyk, M., & Szklarzewicz, T. 2019 Molecular characterization, ultrastructure, and transovarial transmission of Tremblaya phenacola in six mealybugs of the Phenacoccinae subfamily (Insecta, Hemiptera, Coccomorpha). Protoplasma 256:1597–1608

Keywords:

  • bacteria
  • symbionts
  • Notes: Mealybugs (Hemiptera, Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae) are plant sap-sucking insects which require close association with nutritional microorganisms for their proper development and reproduction. Here, we present the results of histological, ultrastructural, and molecular analyses of symbiotic systems of six mealybugs belonging to the Phenacoccinae subfamily
