Agricultural losses due to insect pests amount to approximately 250 billion euros worldwide [l]. To date, crop protection relies almost exclusively on chemical treatments responsible for significant environmental damage, the emergence of resistance in certain insect pests [2] and residues that can potentially prove dangerous to human health [3]. Societal and health concerns create the need to find new ecological solutions.

Symbiosis is a widespread phenomenon in nature and represents a major force in adaptation and evolution. Epigenetic switches enable different phenotypic states to be present in a genetically identical population, potentially facilitating rapid species adaptation. The impact of symbiosis establishment and maintenance on host epigenetic mechanisms remains elusive.
