Implication

Genetic analysis reveals stable bacterial symbionts across Macrosteles leafhopper populations, indicating minimal spatio-temporal variation in obligate endosymbiont prevalence.

Key Points

Bacterial symbiont communities remain stable across Macrosteles populations, displaying no significant frequency changes across locations or sampling years.
Host and symbiont marker gene amplicon sequencing revealed universal Sulcia and Nasuia infections alongside widespread mitochondrial heteroplasmy.
Highlights persistent primary endosymbionts within agricultural leafhopper hosts, advancing understanding of insect-microbial interactions in wild ecosystems.
