Evaluation of Pachycrepoideus vindemiae and Muscidifurax raptor (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) as biological control agents of Piophila casei (Diptera: Piophilidae) in ham production facilities

Journal of Insect Science, 2023
Abstract Ham products play a fundamental role in the Italian economy, and attention to the problems of this sector is essential. The products of this sector can be attacked by parasites, which can cause direct and indirect damage. Piophila casei (L.) (Diptera: Piophilidae) a cheese and meat parasite, is currently responsible for hygiene ...

Comparison of Host-Seeking Behavior of the Filth Fly Pupal Parasitoids, Spalangia cameroni and Muscidifurax raptor (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)

Environmental Entomology, 2015
The pupal parasitoids, Spalangia cameroni Perkins and Muscidifurax raptor Girault and Sanders, can be purchased for biological control of house flies Musca domestica L. and stable flies Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae). Little is known about the odors involved in host-seeking behavior of these two species, so odors associated with house ...

What is the potential for artificial selection of insect biological control traits? A systematic review of their genetic variation, heritability, and evolvability

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 463-497, June 2025.
Growing interest in optimizing biocontrol traits, particularly due to Nagoya Protocol constraints, necessitates understanding their heritability and genetic variation. This systematic review of 5209 studies on arthropod biocontrol agents yielded 94 relevant articles, with 42 providing heritability values.

Optimizing field collection and laboratory conservation of the parasitoid Trichomalus perfectus before release against the cabbage seedpod weevil Ceutorhynchus obstrictus

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 5, Page 361-375, May 2025.
This study aimed to optimize Trichomalus perfectus (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) parasitoid field collection (sampling methods, local, and landscape scale analysis) and laboratory conservation before field release against Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

The influence of genetic variation on pre‐oviposition processes for host‐parasitoid co‐evolution

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 1-16, February 2025.
Co‐evolution between aphid hosts and their parasitoids has been associated with adaptative pressures linked with aphid physiological resistance (related to aphid and their endosymbionts' genetic variation) and parasitoid virulence. The aphid‐parasitoid interaction is composed of multiple previous stages before parasitoid oviposition that has been ...

Parasitisation activity of Spalangia cameroni and Muscidifurax zaraptor, pupal parasitoids of Musca domestica

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 1, Page 49-59, January 2025.
This study investigated the parasitism rate over time of Spalangia cameroni (Hymenoptera: Spalangiidae) and Muscidifurax zaraptor (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), commonly used biocontrol agents of the house fly, Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae). The parasitisation rate of S. cameroni remained constant over time, whereas that of M.

An Integrated Pest Management Strategy Approach for the Management of the Stable Fly Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae)

Insects
Stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans, stand as formidable pests with a global impact, inflicting significant economic losses on the livestock sector. Larval development occurs in diverse substrates, including decomposing plant material and manure, while ...

Effect of Host Decoys on the Ability of the ParasitoidsMuscidifurax raptorandSpalangia cameroni(Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) to Parasitize House Fly (Diptera: Muscidae) Puparia [PDF]

Florida Entomologist, 2017
The pteromalid pupal parasitoids Muscidifurax raptor Girault & Sanders and Spalangia cameroni Perkins (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) are commonly released on livestock farms for management of house flies, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae). To be effective, parasitoids must be able to locate live host puparia in complex environments that may include ...
