Abstract: 【Objective】Cardinium is one of the endosymbiont species infects in sweetpotato whitefly Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). Previous studies have shown that there was a significant difference in the fitness between Cardinium- infected (C+) and -uninfected (C-) strains of B. tabaci Q biotype. However, the behavioral mechanism causing the difference in fitness between the two strains is not clear. This study investigated the difference in the feeding behavior of these two strains to reveal the underlying mechanism responsible for the difference in fitness. 【Method】The feeding behavior of C+ strain and C- strain on cotton and tomato during 6 h was recorded using an electrical penetration graph (EPG). The waveform types of feeding behavior were then identified and analyzed. A total of 19 parameters (11 parameters associated with non-phloem phase and 8 parameters associated with phloem phase) were calculated and analyzed to compare the two strains’ feeding behavior at phloem stage and non-phloem stage.【Result】Of the 118 successful recordings obtained in this experiment, 58 recordings (C- strain=28 replicates and C+ strain=30 replicates) were on cottons and 60 recordings (C- strain=31 replicates and C+ strain=29 replicates) were on tomatoes. The results showed that at the non-phloem phase on cotton C+ strain had a significantly longer total duration of probes than C- strain. C+ strain had a significantly shorter time than C- strain in terms of in duration of np after the first E. The parameters associated with salivation into a sieve element and ingestion of a sieve element sap had no significant difference between the two strains on cotton at phloem phase, and the percentage of whiteflies reaching phloem phase within 6 hours had no significant difference. Meanwhile, at the non-phloem phase, C+ strain had a greater number of total probes and probes before the 1st E than C- strain on tomato. C+ strain also had a longer time from the 1st probe to the 1st sustained E2 and a shorter average probe time than C- strain. The parameters regarding salivation into a sieve element and ingestion of sieve element sap also had no significant difference between the two strains on tomato at phloem phase. Also, the percentage of whiteflies reaching phloem phase within 6 hours had no significant difference. On the whole, the parameters associated phloem phase had no significant difference between the two strains. Compared with C- strain, C+ strain has a longer probing time and requires more probes at non-phloem phase.【Conclusion】The feeding behavior of C+ strain and C- strain has no significant difference at phloem phase, but does have a significant difference at non-phloem phase. The results indicate that the feeding behavior difference of the two strains at non-phloem phase is most likely related to the difference in fitness.
