Potential improvement of Lymantria dispar L. management by quercetin [PDF]
Lymantria dispar, a polyphagous insect pest, copes with a wide variety of host-specific allelochemicals. Glutathione S-transferases (GST) are important for catalyzing detoxification in L. dispar.

The Impact of a Cypovirus on Parental and Filial Generations of Lymantria dispar L. [PDF]
Recently, we found that the spongy moth Lymantria dispar L. is susceptible to infection by a Dendrolimus sibiricus cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (DsCPV-1). In the present study, we evaluated the pathogenicity of DsCPV-1 against L.

Divergent Behavioral Phenotypes and Transcriptomic Reprogramming in Lymantria dispar Larvae Infected by Virus, Bacterium and Fungus [PDF]
Pathogen manipulation of host behavior is a widespread evolutionary strategy to enhance its transmission, yet whether different pathogens elicit distinct behavioral and molecular responses in the same host remains poorly understood. We performed parallel

Fungal Pathogen Infection by Metarhizium anisopliae Alters Climbing Behavior of Lymantria dispar with Tree-Top Disease Induced by LdMNPV [PDF]
Certain parasites manipulate host behavior following infection to enhance their own dispersal and transmission. Lepidopteran larvae infected with baculoviruses exhibit increased locomotion, ascending to the apex of their host plant where they ultimately ...

New Insights into the Phenology and Overwintering Biology of Glyptapanteles porthetriae, a Parasitoid of Lymantria dispar [PDF]
Glyptapanteles porthetriae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a solitary larval endoparasitoid of the spongy moth, Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Erebidae). Previous studies suggested that only the spring generation of the wasp parasitizes early instars of L ...

A Comparison of the Vertical Transmission of High- and Low-Virulence Nucleopolyhedrovirus Strains in Lymantria Dispar L. [PDF]
Baculoviruses can persist in insect host organisms after infection and may be vertically transmitted to the next generation, in which they may be reactivated.
