Genetics of wild and mass-reared populations of a generalist aphid parasitoid and improvement of biological control. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Due to their ability to parasitize various insect species, generalist parasitoids are widely used as biological control agents. They can be mass-reared and released in agroecosystems to control several pest species in various crops.

Placenta-like structure of the aphid endoparasitic wasp Aphidius ervi: a strategy of optimal resources acquisition. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is an entomophagous parasitoid known to be an effective parasitoid of several aphid species of economic importance. A reduction of its production cost during mass rearing for inundative release is needed to improve

Chromosomes of Aphidius ervi Haliday, 1834 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). [PDF]
Beiträge zur Entomologie = Contributions to Entomology, 2003 Die Chromosomenanalyse einiger Laborlinien von Aphidius ervi Haliday, 1834 aus Deutschland ergab n=5 und 2n=10. Allerdings wurden bei einigen weiblichen Tieren einer Population Chromosomensätze mit 2n=12 gefunden. Diese Tiere repräsentieren wahrscheinlich eine thelythoke Linie, die aus einer ursprünglich arrhenotoken Population hervorging. Der Karyotyp

Effect of parasitic entomophages in controlling plant lice pests in vegetable crops and their numbers [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The impact of pests and diseases on agricultural crops has been amplified due to global environmental changes, resulting in an estimated adverse effect of 1.4 trillion dollars, which is approximately 5% of the world's gross domestic product. Research was

A Parasitoid of Aphids Manipulates Host Mummification Site, With Effects on Survival but Not Hyperparasitism. [PDF]
Ecol EvolParasitoid wasps can manipulate host behavior to enhance their own survival. Here we find that a parasitoid of aphids, Aphelinus chaonia, induces aphids to move to the leaf axil or leave the plant prior to pupation. This seems to have no effect on hyperparasitism, but mummy location may nevertheless impact parasitoid survival.

Biocontrol in practice in Canadian floricultural greenhouses
Ornamental Horticulture, 2021 The environment inside Canadian prairie greenhouses differs from greenhouses built in other northern latitude locations in terms of lighting, temperature, humidity, and photoperiod.

Defensive Symbiont Genotype Distributions Are Linked to Parasitoid Attack Networks. [PDF]
Ecol LettFacultative symbionts are widespread in arthropods and can provide important services such as protection from natural enemies. Yet what shapes defensive symbiont associations in nature remains unclear. We show that the symbiont Hamiltonella defensa's genotype distribution strongly aligns with sharing the same parasitoids, rather than host plants ...

Additional data on Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) fauna of Kyrgyzstan, with description of a new species [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2021 Here we present additional data on the Aphidiinae fauna of Kyrgyzstan. We identified 18 Aphidiinae species. One species new to science (Trioxys depressus sp. nov.) is described, while 11 species are reported for the first time: Aphidius avenae Haliday, A.

Primary parasitoid and hyperparasitoid guilds (hymenoptera) of grain aphid (Sitobion avenae F.) in northern Poland [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2014 The aim of this study was to determine and compare the guilds of parasitic Hymenoptera associated with the grain aphid on rye and winter wheat. Of the seven species of primary parasitoids (Braconidae: Aphidiinae, Aphelinidae), parasitizing ...
