Abstract：
An increasing body of literature
reveals an association between symbiotic microbiota and insecticide resistance
in insects and a clear differentiation in associations between symbiotic
microbiota and insecticide resistance among different holobionts. Physiological
tradeoffs between insecticide resistance and symbiont infection can induce
shifts in the composition of the microbial symbiont community. Specific
microbes can adversely modify the host fitness cost associated with insecticide
resistance, detoxify insecticides, or mediate the host immune response to
modulate a host’s susceptibility to insecticides. Developments in multi-Omics
and molecular biology will help obtain deeper insights into the link between
symbiotic microbiota and insecticide resistance.
