Nosema Disease of the Parasitoid Muscidifurax raptor (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae): Prevalence, Patterns of Transmission, Management, and Impact

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.

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 ...

Effects of transgenic Cry1Ac + CpTI cotton on non-target mealybug pest Ferrisia virgata and its predator Cryptolaemus montrouzieri [PDF]

, 2014
Recently, several invasive mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) have rapidly spread to Asia and have become a serious threat to the production of cotton including transgenic cotton.

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 ...

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 ...

Evaluation of Two Parasitoids in Dairy Calf Greenhouses [PDF]

, 2006
Parasitoids are a critical component of a successful dairy IPM program.  In the first year of this two-year study we compared individual species parasitoid releases.  During Year 2 we compared the best individual parasitoid from Year 1 (M.
