Abstract The gut pH plays crucial roles in diet preference, habitat choice, insect fitness, and insect-microbial relationships. It significantly impacts enzyme activity efficiency, as well the internalisation efficacy of pesticides. Without a comprehensive understanding environment, potential pest management strategies cannot be fully optimised. This study investigates globally invasive Western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis , effect its Gram-negative symbiotic bacterium BFo2 has on modulation. Indicator dyes were fed to F. was found vary between 6 7. In general, larval adult guts appear have 6.5; however, posterior some adults appears closer almost neutral offers favourable environment for neutrophilic BFo2. ability isolates buffer towards also observed during vitro culture using broths at different values. paper discusses implications this dsRNAi delivery. By laying foundation how can leveraged enhance current strategies, particularly benefits research aimed optimising delivery lethal dsRNA through symbiont-mediated RNAi programs.
