Dacus oleae microbial symbionts.
Dacus oleae (Gmelin), which is a major insect pest of the olive tree, is closely associated during all developmental stages with a bacterial symbiont. This review describes the localization and transmission of the symbiont, the attempts made to isolate, cultivate and characterize it, and the host-symbiont interactions.
