Symbionts are organisms living in association with other organisms, and are usually microorganisms transmitted either vertically to the next generation, or horizontally within and among species. They are providing several benefits for their hosts. After in important research effort, effects of symbionts on their hosts is still not fully understood, especially in terms of temporal and spat…
Knowledge about the edaphic acarofauna in the different Brazilian biomes is incipient. Studies of this sort have just not been conducted in extensive areas of the country, especially in regard to mites from areas of agricultural interest, such as soybean, corn and sugarcane plantations. One of the most common groups of edaphic mites is the order Mesostigmata. These are known for their pot…
Symbiosis is a widespread phenomenon in nature and represents a major force in adaptation and evolution. Epigenetic switches enable different phenotypic states to be present in a genetically identical population, potentially facilitating species adaptation. The impact of symbiosis establishment and maintenance on host epigenetic mechanisms remains elusive. We hypothesize that a biotic str…
This proposal seeks to address major concerns relating to economically important insect pests in Brazilian agricultural, through the development and use of novel, efficacious and safe biopesticides. One of the target insect pests selected for study is the native, polyphagous armyworm Spodoptera fugiperda, which has evolved resistance to a number of chemistries and the transgenic tools cur…
Huanglongbing (HLB) is the major threat to the citriculture worldwide. The fast and efficient dissemination of the HLB associated bacteria, Candidatus Liberibacter spp., by its psyllid vector Diaphorina citri and the absence of genetic resistance in citrus, are major factors accounting for disease severity. The development of varieties with good agronomic performance and resistance to dis…

The role of the microbiota associated to organisms has received special attention recently, despite of the proposed theories in the pioneering work of Lynn Margulis more than half a century ago. Widespread attention to the potential of exploration of the microbiota emerged after advances in the understanding of the role of the microbiota in different human phenotypes, many of which relate…
The association of insects with symbiontic bacteria can influence different aspects of their biology. Symbionts may assist in the metabolism of toxins and contribute to the production of metabolites essential for host insect nutrition, for example. Thus, the exploration of interactions of insects with symbiont bacteria could contribute to the development of new control technologies for pe…

The gut microbiota is an important contributing factor to several aspects of their host's physiology. In insects, symbiotic microorganisms can play important roles in host plant adaptation and speciation, for example. Spodoptera frugiperda, an important agricultural pest of several crops, currently has two well-established strains, which differ at genetic level and utilization of host pla…
Microorganisms present the ability to produce numerous biologically active compounds of proven value to human and veterinary medicine and agriculture. The use of microorganisms isolated in unexplored niches stands out as a promising strategy for the identification of new metabolites. One of such niches is represented by insect-associated bacterial symbionts. Due to difficulties in the iso…
Bacterial symbionts are broadly distributed among insects, which may have their biology and ecology affected by interactions with symbionts. Buchnera aphidicola is a primary aphid symbiont that impacts host metabolism by providing essential amino acids that are not produced by the host nor are acquired from the diet. Facultative symbionts are also expected to modify host proteins and meta…
