Aphidius ervi Teratocytes Release Enolase and Fatty Acid Binding Protein Through Exosomal Vesicles [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 The molecular bases of the host-parasitoid interactions in the biological system Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Homoptera, Aphididae) and Aphidius ervi (Haliday) (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) have been elucidated allowing the identification of a gamma ...

Morphological variation of Aphidius ervi Haliday (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) associated with different aphid hosts [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background Parasitoids are frequently used in biological control due to the fact that they are considered host specific and highly efficient at attacking their hosts. As they spend a significant part of their life cycle within their hosts, feeding habits

Bottom-Up and Top-Down Dynamics in the Management of Rosy Apple Aphid [PDF]
InsectsEffective control of the rosy apple aphid, Dysaphis plantaginea, is crucial for maintaining apple orchard productivity. Understanding plant-mediated bottom-up and parasitoid-driven top-down interactions is critical for developing optimized pest ...

The first record of Aphidius ervi Haliday in Slovenia
Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2009 In 2008, a lucerne aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi Haliday was first recorded in Slovenia. This oligophagous parasitoid is used as biological control agent against bigger aphid species. By sampling aphid mummies on different locations in Slovenia in 2008,

Expression differences in Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) females reared on different aphid host species [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 The molecular mechanisms that allow generalist parasitoids to exploit many, often very distinct hosts are practically unknown. The wasp Aphidius ervi, a generalist koinobiont parasitoid of aphids, was introduced from Europe into Chile in the late 1970s ...

An Evaluation of the Effects of Delayed Parasitism on Daily and Lifetime Fecundity of Aphidius ervi Haliday [PDF]
InsectsThe study of parasitoid reproductive behaviour is crucial to understanding how parasitoids influence host population dynamics, and the strategies used by parasitoids to maximize their reproductive success.

Identification and Expression Profiling of Peripheral Olfactory Genes in the Parasitoid Wasp Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) Reared on Different Aphid Hosts [PDF]
Insects, 2019 Generalist parasitoids of aphids, such as the wasp Aphidius ervi, display significant differences in terms of host preference and host acceptance, depending on the host on which they developed (natal host), which is preferred over a non-natal host, a ...

Grain aphids (Sitobion avenae) with knockdown resistance (kdr) to insecticide exhibit fitness trade-offs, including increased vulnerability to the natural enemy Aphidius ervi. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 The development of insecticide-resistance mechanisms in aphids has been associated with inhibitory, pleiotropic fitness costs. Such fitness costs have not yet been examined in the UK's most damaging cereal aphid, Sitobion avenae (grain aphid) (Hemiptera:

Mating behaviour of Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae): The role of antennae [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2002 In the mating behaviour of Aphidius ervi Haliday the antennae play a pivotal role in partner recognition and acceptance. Mating failure was always observed when antennal contact was experimentally prevented. The male of A.

Small volatile lipophilic molecules induced belowground by aphid attack elicit a defensive response in neighbouring un-infested plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 In pioneering studies on plant-aphid interactions, we have observed that Vicia faba plants infested by aphids can transmit signals via the rhizosphere that induce aboveground defence in intact, neighbouring plants.
