I have detected this species in glasshouse whitefly and if anyone have more details of its function in this insects?
Hello Ali:
Arsenophonus is one of the facultative endosymbionts prevalent in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci in the Indian sub-continent. Some studies have revealed its involvement in virus transmission by B. tabaci. Their contribution to the biological differences observed among different genetic groups (Gueguen et al., 2010) with some having competence to act as reproductive manipulators of their
host (Moran et al., 2008; Feldhaar, 2011). Different combinations
of secondary endosymbionts have been associated with different genetic groups of whiteflies (Biotypes- Q and B) (Chiel et al., 2007; Costa et al., 1995). Though, the biological contribution of bacterial endosymbiont community to their host, B. tabaci has been well explored (Xue et al., 2012; Himler et al., 2011; Su et al., 2013; Fang et al., 2014), the importance to the host of specific endosymbionts has not been established.

Dear Luis,
Thank you so much for your explain and the helpful references you mentioned.
Hello Dear
The obligate symbiont, “Candidatus Buchnera aphidicola”, plays a critical role in nutrient provision. Best regards
Hi Masoud,
Thanks for your answer, yes the primary symbiotic is well know but there is a little known about secondary once which is vary in their infected depended on species or biotypes of whitefly. I am looking for impotence role for Arsenophonus sp in sp in deffent spcies of whitefly , specially with Trialeurodes vaporariorum.
Rickettsia and Hamiltonella, and co-occurs with Trialeurodes sp. nr. abutiloneus whiteflie.
Bacterial endosymbionts in field-collected samples of Trialeurodes sp. nr ...
Thanks Masoud for your answer , some paper refers that Arsenophonus sp linked with insect host fitting and other mentioned to be male killer as well , so i seek to know more about it is role ?
Ali
Dear Ali,
Please check these resources.
