#Bacterial #endosymbionts often protect their hosts from threats. For instance, #Wolbachia inhibit #viral #pathogens in #insects and #Hamiltonella defensa protect from #parasitoid wasps.
Here, researchers report that #Regiella insecticola protects #aphids from Acyrthosiphon pisum virus. This is only the second #symbiont reported to inhibit viral pathogens in #arthropods.
