“…In their work, the different spore concentrations of B. laterosporus significantly influenced the larval development time and pupal weight of M. domestica at different levels. In addition, consistent with previous studies on P. xyllotella and Antheraea assamensis , the additive effect of candidate entomopahogen ( P. cedrina ) + B. thuringiensis was detected, which gave us a new insight into the application of these opportunistic entomopathogens (Nian et al, ; Haloi, Kalita, Nath, & Devi, ).…”

“…This effect, also observed in livestock (60), might reflect microbial parasitism occurring in even apparently healthy caterpillars, and/or costly immune responses to the presence of pathogens (61). Aside from known leaf-specialists, some of the most frequently detected bacterial genera in this study (Table S2), including Acinetobacter , Clostridium , Enterobacter , Enterococcus , Escherichia , and Staphylococcus , have been reported to cause disease in caterpillars under some circumstances (37, 47, 62, 63).…”

“…In Colorado and Costa Rica, we sampled leaf-associated bacteria from the same plant individuals consumed by the sampled caterpillars to examine whether leaves are a potential source of these taxa. Of the aforementioned phylotypes, all but Staphylococcus —a potential caterpillar pathogen (47) or, like Corynebacterium , a transient from human skin (48)—are also among the ten most common phylotypes found in leaf samples (Table S2). Across caterpillar individuals, a median 89.6% (interquartile range: 80.2–99.0%) of fecal bacterial sequences belonged to phylotypes detected on leaves.…”

“…This effect might reflect microbial parasitism occurring in even apparently healthy caterpillars, or costly immune responses to the presence of pathogens (58). Aside from known leaf specialists, many of the most frequently detected bacterial genera in this study (SI Appendix, Table S2) have been reported to cause disease in caterpillars (36,46,59,60). Additionally, even normally transient gut microbes can negatively affect caterpillars under certain circumstances, such as after ingestion of insecticidal toxins (61), and thus may be important to understanding caterpillar herbivory and pest management.…”
