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]
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 ...

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

ABSTRACT The use of pteromalid parasitoids for muscoid fly control is becoming increasingly common. Two species that are often recommended for releases are Spalangia cameroni Perkins and Muscidifurax raptor Girault and Sanders. This study was conducted to determine if the reduced suitability of freeze-killed pupae for Pteromalidae, particularly S ...
