Distribution, abundance and host association of two parasitoid species attacking frugivorous drosophilid larvae in central Japan

European Journal of Entomology, 2010
In central Japan Ganaspis xanthopoda and Asobara japonica commonly parasitize the larvae of frugivorous drosophilids, mainly in montane forests, and urban environments and small groves, respectively.

Wolbachia interferes with ferritin expression and iron metabolism in insects. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
Wolbachia is an intracellular bacterium generally described as being a facultative reproductive parasite. However, Wolbachia is necessary for oogenesis completion in the wasp Asobara tabida.

Effects of Atmospheric Pollutants on Volatile‐Mediated Insect Ecosystem Services

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2025.
This review addresses the current state of knowledge on the effects of air pollutants on volatile organic compound‐mediated insect–plant interactions, which underlie key ecosystem services. Significant knowledge gaps are also identified. While gaseous pollutants reduce the lifetime of individual compounds that act as olfactory cues, gaseous and ...

Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered?

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2024.
Endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia are recognized for their role in influencing host survival and stress resistance, particularly in cold environmental conditions across various species. However, our analysis of available data reveals a notable absence of Wolbachia in species abundant in the extreme cold conditions of Antarctica.

Assessment of non‐target toxicity of insecticides on Ganaspis brasiliensis (Ihering) in laboratory and field conditions

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 10, Page 5421-5431, October 2024.
Spinosad was the most toxic active ingredient, in both laboratory bioassays and field trials. Cyantraniliprole resulted as the least toxic and selective one, but showed sublethal effects on longevity at LC30. Abstract Background G1 strain Ganaspis brasiliensis (Ihering) has been recently released in both Europe and America as a biological control agent

Microbial symbionts : a resource for the management of insect-related problems [PDF]

, 2011
Microorganisms establish with their animal hosts close interactions. They are involved in many aspects of the host life, physiology and evolution, including nutrition, reproduction, immune homeostasis, defence and speciation.

Does the seasonal phenotype of Drosophila suzukii influence cellular immunity and parasitisation?

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 5, Page 582-595, June 2024.
Abstract Controlling the worldwide invasive pest Drosophila suzukii remains a challenge. One promising biological method for managing this pest is the use of larval and pupal parasitoids. Unfortunately, most of the larval parasitoids fail to successfully parasitise D. suzukii larvae in laboratory experiments due to the high immunity of the pest. So far,
