Insect Science, EarlyView.The mutualism between Tapinoma ibericum ants and Aphis gossypii disrupts the biological control exerted by Aphidius colemani in greenhouse peppers. Ant exclusion increased parasitism and the presence of most natural enemies, although Aphidoletes aphidimyza was more abundant with ants.

Response of Aphidius colemani to aphid sex pheromone varies depending on plant synergy and prior experience [PDF]
, 2015 A critical stage in the success of a parasitoid is the ability to locate a host within its habitat. It is hypothesized that a series of olfactory cues may be involved in altering the parasitoid's movement patterns at this stage of foraging.

Insects, 2019 Parasitoids are among the most frequently reported natural enemies of insect pests, particularly aphids. The efficacy of parasitoids as biocontrol agents is influenced by biotic and abiotic factors.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 822-830, August 2026.This field mesocosm study examined the top‐down effects of hyperparasitoids, parasitoids and aphids on plant growth and fitness. Parasitoids reduced aphid populations, but this effect was attenuated by hyperparasitoids. However, these multitrophic interactions did not affect plant traits and reproduction, likely due to the plant's fast life cycle and ...

Effect of Releasing the Parasitoid, Aphidius colemani (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) on Suppression of Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) Populations in Eggplants [PDF]
, 2018 In Turkey, the polyphagous aphid, Myzus persicae Sulz. (Hemiptera: Aphididae) causes economic damages to eggplant. The solitary koinobiont parasitoid, Aphidius colemani Viereck (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is the mainly used parasitoid and commercially ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2004 The instar preference and parasitization (expressed as mummification rate) of Aphis gossypii Glover and Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) by the parasitoid Aphidius colemani Viereck (Hymenoptera: Aphidiidae) were studied at 25±0.5°C, 65±5% r.

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2007 Diez especies de áfidos (Hemiptera: Aphididae) se hallaron parasitados por siete especies de parasitoides (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Aphidiinae) en cultivos hortícolas orgánicos. Myzus persicae (Sulzer) fue el áfido más frecuentemente encontrado sobre una
