Deciphering host-parasitoid interactions and parasitism rates of crop pests using DNA metabarcoding
Scientific Reports, 2019 An accurate estimation of parasitism rates and diversity of parasitoids of crop insect pests is a prerequisite for exploring processes leading to efficient natural biocontrol.

Drosophila Cellular Immunity Against Parasitoid Wasps: A Complex and Time-Dependent Process
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Host-parasitoid interactions are among the most studied interactions between invertebrates because of their fundamental interest – the evolution of original traits in parasitoids – and applied, parasitoids being widely used in biological control ...

The parasitoid complex of D. suzukii and other fruit feeding Drosophila species in Asia
Scientific Reports, 2018 Drosophila suzukii is an invasive fly of East Asian origin that has become a serious fruit pest worldwide. Classical biological control through the introduction of parasitoids from Asia could help reduce populations of D.

Bacteriophage effect on parasitism resistance [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Many studies have shown that the protection of the host $\it{Acyrthosiphon~pisum}$ (Hemiptera, Aphididae) against the parasitoid $\it{Aphidius~ervi}$ (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) is conferred by the interaction between the secondary endosymbiont $\it{Hamiltonella~defensa}$ and the bacteriophage $\it{APSE}$ ($\it{Acyrthosiphon~pisum}$ secondary ...

Science Advances, 2018 A volatile emitted by attacked maize plants renders caterpillars less attractive and more resistant to parasitoids. Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) can mediate tritrophic interactions by attracting natural enemies of insect herbivores such as ...

Biological Control of Alfalfa Blotch Leafminer (Diptera: Agromyzidae) in Ontario: Status and Ecology of Parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Eulophidae) 20 Years After Introduction [PDF]
, 2018 Two European parasitoid species were released in Ontario during the late 1970\u27s to control the alfalfa blotch leafminer, Agromyza frontella (Rondani) (Diptera: Agromyzidae). One of these, Dacnusa dryas (Nixon) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), rapidly became

Sublethal doses of imidacloprid disrupt sexual communication and host finding in a parasitoid wasp
Scientific Reports, 2017 Neonicotinoids are widely used insecticides, but their use is subject of debate because of their detrimental effects on pollinators. Little is known about the effect of neonicotinoids on other beneficial insects such as parasitoid wasps, which serve as ...
