Effects of Age and Burial of House Fly (Diptera: Muscidae) Pupae on Parasitism by Spalangia cameroni and Muscidifurax raptor (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)

Environmental Entomology, 1997
The parasitoid wasps Spalangia cameroni Perkins and Muscidifurax raptor Girault & Sanders commonly co-occur in nature and are sometimes released together in efforts to control pest fly populations. Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine how the effectiveness of these wasps in killing house flies, Musca domestica L., and producing wasp ...

Comparative Toxicity of Seven Insecticides to Immature Stages of Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae) and Two of Its Important Biological Control Agents, Muscidifurax raptor and Spalangia cameroni (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1991
The toxicity of seven insecticides was evaluated against unparasitized Musca domestica L. pupae and pupae parasitized by Muscidifurax raptor Girault & Sanders or Spalangia cameroni Perkins, two important biological control agents. Only pyrethrins + piperonyl butoxide (Pyrenone) was less toxic to M. raptor compared with house flies.

[The seasonal appearance of the Musca Domestica parasitoid Muscidifurax raptor (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) in a swine production facility].

Angewandte Parasitologie, 1982
The house fly parasitoid Muscidifurax raptor Girault & Sanders was isolated from the pigger dung heaps of an agricultural cooperative in the district Potsdam, GDR. In 1979 and 1980 a maximum parazitation rate of the housefly population of more than 50% was found. In June M. raptor starts to increase and continued to be fairly abundant to the end of the

[The suitability of cold preserved Musca domestica puparia for the mass rearing of the ichneumon fly Muscidifurax raptor (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)].

Angewandte Parasitologie, 1982
The preceding production of essential numbers of hosts--puparia of Musca domestica L.--requires more labour and space and higher costs than the virtual rearing of the hymenopterous parasitoid Muscidifurax raptor GIRAULT & SANDERS itself. Therefore, the possibility of preserving the host by freezing would be a substantial improvement in the mass rearing

Development of Spalangia cameroni and Muscidifurax raptor (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) on live house fly (Diptera: Muscidae) pupae and pupae killed by heat shock, irradiation, and cold.

Environmental entomology, 2007
The objective of this study was to evaluate the suitability of killed house fly (Musca domestica L) pupae for production of two economically important pupal parasitoids. Two-day-old fly pupae were subjected to heat shock treatments of varying temperatures and durations in an oven at >or=70% RH; exposure to temperatures of 55 degrees C or higher for 15 ...
