Embryo Microinjection and Transplantation Technique for Nasonia vitripennis Genome Manipulation. [PDF]

J Vis Exp, 2017
The jewel wasp Nasonia vitripennis has emerged as an effective model system for the study of processes including sex determination, haplo-diploid sex determination, venom synthesis, and host-symbiont interactions, among others. A major limitation of working with this organism is the lack of effective protocols to perform directed genome modifications ...

Side Effects of IGR Cyromazine on Nasonia vitripennis (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), a Parasitic Wasp of House Fly Pupae

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2008
Background: Combination of cyromazine as an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) and Nasonia vitripennis (Hymenop¬tera: Pteromalidae) a parasitic wasp may be an effective tool for reducing the house-fly populations in poultry houses and livestock farms.

Two ways of finding a host: A specialist and a generalist parasitoid species (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2011
Two closely related parasitoid wasp species with different host specificities were used for experimental studies on the biology of host finding, a crucial element of parasitoid life history: The habitat and host specialist Nasonia vitripennis and the ...

Potential benefits of male diploidy and female triploidy for parasitoid wasps used as biological control agents: A case study in Nasonia

Biological Control
Parasitoid wasps are haplodiploid insects, but polyploidy (diploid males, triploid females) occurs for many species. In biological control, polyploidy may have beneficial effects on desirable biological related traits.

Functional characterization of transcription factor motifs using cross-species comparison across large evolutionary distances.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2010
We address the problem of finding statistically significant associations between cis-regulatory motifs and functional gene sets, in order to understand the biological roles of transcription factors.

Parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) from puparia of sarcosaprophagous flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae; Sarcophagidae) in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2008
Se registró la emergencia de parasitoides (Hymenoptera) de crías experimentales de Diptera sarcosaprófagas (Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae), atraídas a cebos de carne bovina, en Buenos Aires (Argentina) durante 1998-2003.

Creating insect neopolyploid lines to study animal polyploid evolution

Evolutionary Applications
Whole‐genome duplication (polyploidy) poses many complications but is an important driver for eukaryotic evolution. To experimentally study how many challenges from the cellular (including gene expression) to the life history levels are overcome in ...

Lack of parent-of-origin effects in Nasonia jewel wasp: A replication and extension study

PLoS ONE, 2021
In diploid cells, the paternal and maternal alleles are, on average, equally expressed. There are exceptions from this: a small number of genes express the maternal or paternal allele copy exclusively.
