Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1992 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.

Biological Control, 1995 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

Journal of Vector Ecology, 2014 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.

Biological Control, 1995 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.

PpSerpin-1 isoforms are involved in the wasp’s immune response and parasitism.
, 2023 (a) Isoform-specific RT–PCR of PpSerpin-1 isoforms. (b) Expression of PpSerpin-1 isoforms in response to injection of PBS, E. coli, M. luteus or B. bassiana. Expression levels were calculated from RNA-seq data.

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 ...

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.

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 ...
