AB  - Intracellular bacterial endosymbionts of arthropods are mainly transmitted 
      vertically from mother to offspring, but phylogenetically distant insect hosts 
      often harbor identical endosymbionts, indicating that horizontal transmission 
      from one species to another occurs in nature. Here, we investigated the 
      parasitoid Encarsia formosa-mediated horizontal transmission of the endosymbiont 
      Rickettsia between different populations of whitefly Bemisia tabaci MEAM1. 
      Rickettsia was successfully transmitted from the positive MEAM1 nymphs (R (+)) 
      into E. formosa and retained at least for 48 h in E. formosa adults. Fluorescence 
      in situ hybridization (FISH) visualization results revealed that the ovipositors, 
      mouthparts, and digestive tract of parasitoid adults get contaminated with 
      Rickettsia. Random non-lethal probing of Rickettisia-negative (R(-) ) MEAM1 
      nymphs by these Rickettsia-carrying E. formosa resulted in newly infected MEAM1 
      nymphs, and the vertical transmission of Rickettsia within the recipient females 
      can remain at least up to F3 generation. Further phylogenetic analyses revealed 
      that Rickettsia had high fidelity during the horizontal transmission in 
      whiteflies and parasitoids. Our findings may help to explain why Rickettsia 
      bacteria are so abundant in arthropods and suggest that, in some insect species 
      that shared the same parasitoids, Rickettsia may be maintained in populations by 
      horizontal transmission.
