Infection Alters the Microbiota of the Invasive Leaf-Miner (Diptera: Agromyzidae).

Microbe-microbe interactions within a host drive shifts in the host's microbiota composition, profoundly influencing host physiology, ecology, and evolution. Among these microbes, the maternally inherited endosymbiont is widespread in the invasive pest (Diptera: Agromyzidae). However, its influence on the host microbiota remains largely unexplored.
