Next‐generation biological control: the need for integrating genetics and genomics
ABSTRACT Biological control is widely successful at controlling pests, but effective biocontrol agents are now more difficult to import from countries of origin due to more restrictive international trade laws (the Nagoya Protocol). Coupled with increasing demand, the efficacy of existing and new biocontrol agents needs to be improved with genetic and ...

Abstract Muscididfurax raptor , a pupal parasitoid of house flies and other filth flies, is commonly infected with the microsporidium Nosema muscidifuracis . To determine the effects of infection on developmental time, uninfected and infected adult M. raptor were allowed to parasitize pupae of the house fly ( Musca domestica ) for 24 h.

Abstract An undetermined microsporidium was found infecting Muscidifurax raptor, a parasitoid of muscoid flies. Housefly hosts of the parasitoid in culture were not infected. Spores were present in newly deposited parasitoid eggs and vertical transmission experiments indicated 100% efficiency of maternal transmission.

Abstract Adult house flies (Musca domestica) were susceptible (94-100% mortality) to Beauveria bassiana when conidia of the Hf88 isolate were applied to plywood boards at 107 conidia/cm2; a starch dust formulation was more effective than a liquid suspension. Adult flies were also susceptible (90-99% mortality) to this isolate when they were con fined

The objective of this study was to establish a high quality progeny production system for the house fly parasitoid, Spalangia endius (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), by stockpiling hosts. We performed two host killing methods before host storage: (i) heat‐killed by 30 min exposure to 50°C or (ii) freeze‐killed by 10 min exposure to −80°C.

Competition bioassays were conducted with the filth fly pupal parasitoids Muscidurax raptor (Girault & Sanders) and M. raptorellus (Kogan & Legner) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) using house fly Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) hosts at different host densities. Muscidifurax raptor had a significant impact on M.

Abstract The microsporidium Nosema muscidifuracis was found in 1.1 and 10.7% of wild Muscidifurax raptor collected on New York dairy farms in 1991 and 1992. Higher (84%) levels of infection were observed on farms where infected M. raptor from a commercial insectary were released. Adult M.
