Bacterial and fungal symbionts in parasitoid wasp genera Nasonia and Muscidifurax

open access: yes, 2023
Jewel wasps in the Nasonia genus are ideal models for insect genetics, genomics, epigenetics, development, and evolution. Wasps in the Muscidifurax genus have a close evolutionary relationship to the model parasitoid genus Nasonia.

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

open access: yesEntomologia 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.

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

open access: yesFlorida 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 ...

Individual and Combined Releases ofMuscidifurax raptorandM. raptorellus(Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) as a Biological Control Tactic Targeting House Flies in Dairy Calf Facilities [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Entomology, 2012
The impact of commercially reared house fly parasitoids released into nine dairy calf coverall facilities were evaluated over 3 yr. Individual and equally mixed ratios of the pteromalid parasitoids Muscidifurax raptor Girault and Saunders and M.

Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Analysis of the Cuticular Hydrocarbons from Parasitic Wasps of the Genus Muscidifurax

open access: yes, 1998
Parasitic Hymenoptera can be difficult to identify by conventional taxonomic techniques. Examination of the cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) provides a basis for chemotaxonomic differentiation, which may lead to the discovery of pheromones, and can be a ...

Relationships Between Temperature and Life History Parameters ofMuscidifurax raptorellus(Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Entomology, 2000
The effect of temperature on the life history of Muscidifurax raptor Girault & Sanders was determined to develop relationships that could be used to improve simulation models of biological control. Immature developmental rates were influenced by temperature and sex.

Heritability of sex ratio manipulation in response to host size in the parasitoid wasp Muscidifurax raptor

open access: yes, 1994
Natural selection is the process by which organisms accumulate favorable traits that increase reproductive success. One factor that may influence reproductive success is the ability to manipulate one\u27s offspring sex ratio.
