Host and symbiont genetic contributions to fitness in a Trichogramma-Wolbachia symbiosis. [PDF]
, 2018 The fitness effects associated with Wolbachia infection have wide-ranging ecological and evolutionary consequences for host species. How these effects are modulated by the relative influence of host and Wolbachia genomes has been described as a balancing

Time-course analysis of Drosophila suzukii interaction with endoparasitoid wasps evidences a delayed encapsulation response compared to D. melanogaster. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Drosophila suzukii (the spotted-wing Drosophila) appears to be unsuitable for the development of most Drosophila larval endoparasitoids, be they sympatric or not.

Wolbachia versus dengue: Evolutionary forecasts. [PDF]
, 2013 A novel form of biological control is being applied to the dengue virus. The agent is the maternally transmitted bacterium Wolbachia, naturally absent from the main dengue vector, the mosquito Aedes aegypti.

Bacterial Communities Differ among Drosophila melanogaster Populations and Affect Host Resistance against Parasitoids. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In Drosophila, diet is considered a prominent factor shaping the associated bacterial community. However, the host population background (e.g. genotype, geographical origin and founder effects) is a factor that may also exert a significant influence and ...

Symbiosis As The Way Of Eukaryotic Life: The Dependent Co-Origination Of The Body [PDF]
, 2014 Molecular analyses of symbiotic relationships are challenging our biological definitions of individuality and supplanting them with a new notion of normal part whole relationships. This new notion is that of a \u27holobiont\u27, a consortium of organisms

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.Abstract Three polyphagous agromyzid leafminers, Liriomyza sativae Blanchard, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) and Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), have recently invaded mainland Australia, posing a threat to horticultural crops. Overseas, these species are often effectively controlled by local hymenopteran parasitoids.

Overwintering features of Drosophila parasitoids (Hymenoptera) in a temperate region of Japan
Physiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 195-203, June 2025.Overwintering was studied in parasitoids utilizing Drosophila flies by outdoor rearing and laboratory experiments in central Japan. Asobara, Ganaspis and Trichopria had limited capacities to overwinter under the climate of the study site. A number of Leptopilina tsushimaensis and Leptolamina sp.
