Do Wolbachia influence fecundity in Nasonia vitripennis? [PDF]
This paper reports the influence of a vertically transmitted symbiont, Wolbachia, on host fitness in the parasitic wasp, Nasonia vitripennis. We measured fecundities of uninfected strains and strains infected with either two Wolbachia variants (wAv,wBv) or one (wAv or wBv). Preliminary tests suggested that double-infected females produce more offspring

Early memory in the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2015We studied early memory in Nasonia vitripennis, a parasitoid of fly pupae and emerging model organism for ecological questions in the context of learning. After associative training consisting of one drilling experience in a host in the presence of cinnamon, females showed a preference to cinnamon for at least 24 h.

A method for parental RNA interference in the wasp Nasonia vitripennis
Nature Protocols, 2006The wasp Nasonia vitripennis is emerging as a useful model organism in which to address a variety of biological questions, due, in part, to its ease of laboratory use, unique aspects of its biology and the sequencing of its genome. In order to take full advantage of the potential of this organism, methods for manipulating gene function are needed.

A defensin antimicrobial peptide from the venoms of Nasonia vitripennis
Toxicon, 2010Although many antimicrobial components (i.e. antimicrobial peptides) have been found in many social Hymenoptera venoms, no antimicrobial compound is purified and characterized from parasitic Hymenoptera. From the venoms of the ectoparasitic wasp, Nasonia vitripennis, a defensin-like antimicrobial peptide named defensin-NV was purified and characterized.
