Efficient compartmentalization in insect bacteriomes protects symbiotic bacteria from host immune system

Abstract Background Many insects house symbiotic intracellular bacteria (endosymbionts) that provide them with essential nutrients, thus promoting the usage of nutrient-poor habitats. Endosymbiont seclusion within host specialized cells, called bacteriocytes, often organized in a dedicated organ, th...
