As one of the most successful intracellular symbiotic bacteria, Wolbachia can infect many arthropods and nematodes. Wolbachia infection usually affects the reproduction of their hosts to promote their own proliferation and transmission. Currently, most of the studies focus on the mechanisms of Wolbachia interactions with host reproduction. However, in addition to distribution in the reproductive tissues, Wolbachia also infect various somatic tissues of their hosts, including the brain. This raises the potential that Wolbachia may influence some somatic processes, such as behaviors in their hosts. So far, information about the effects of Wolbachia infection on host behavior is still very limited. The present review presents the current literature on different aspects of the influence of Wolbachia on various behaviors, including sleep, learning and memory, mating, feeding and aggression in their insect hosts. We then highlight ongoing scientific efforts in the field that need addressing to advance this field, which can have significant implications for further developing Wolbachia as environmentally friendly biocontrol agents to control insect‐borne diseases and agricultural pests.

内共生体沃尔巴克氏体对昆虫寄主行为的影响

作为最成功的细胞内共生菌之一，沃尔巴克氏菌可以感染许多节肢动物和线虫。沃尔巴克氏菌感染通常会影响宿主的繁殖以促进自身的增殖和传播。目前，大多数研究集中在沃尔巴克氏体与宿主繁殖相互作用的机制上。然而，除了分布在生殖组织中，沃尔巴克氏菌还感染宿主的各种体细胞组织，包括大脑。这增加了 Wolbachia 可能影响某些躯体过程的可能性，例如宿主的行为。到目前为止，关于沃尔巴克氏菌感染对宿主行为影响的信息仍然非常有限。本综述介绍了关于沃尔巴克氏体对各种行为（包括睡眠、昆虫宿主的学习和记忆、交配、进食和攻击。然后，我们强调该领域正在进行的科学工作需要解决以推进该领域，这可能对进一步开发 Wolbachia 作为环境友好的生物防治剂来控制虫媒疾病和农业害虫具有重要意义。
