Abstract:Background
Microbial communities including symbionts play vital roles in insect hosts. Abiotic factors, especially ecological factors also have significant influence on the structure of the microbiome and the abundance of symbionts within hosts. However, the effects of the bacterial symbionts and ecological factors on the microbiota in host whitefly remains poorly understood.
