The insects' microbiome exposed: its importance makes the difference
Abstract
Insects have interactions with beneficial or harmful microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, protists, viruses, and archaea) that live in their bodies and make up their microbiome. This can influence the behavior and development of insects, since insects can shape their microbiome by ingesting food with beneficial microorganisms, which plays a crucial role in the evolution of these animals by interacting with their genome and affecting their adaptability. The microbiome has great potential in practical applications, such as agriculture, animal health, and biotechnology with the use of paratrangenesis (use of a genetically engineered insect microbiome) as a new way to control insect populations or their ability to transmit disease.
