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 ...

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Entomopathogenic nematode‐infected cadavers trigger plants to release volatile organic compounds that deter herbivores, attract parasitic wasps, and boost defense responses, highlighting their potential for sustainable pest management. Abstract Grasping the dynamics between plants and herbivores, as well as the defenses triggered by insects, may hold ...

eLifeNotch signalling activity regulates hematopoiesis in Drosophila and vertebrates alike. Parasitoid wasp infestation of Drosophila larvae, however, requires a timely downregulation of Notch activity to allow the formation of encapsulation-active blood ...

Insect chemosensory proteins as targets in insecticide resistance and development
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.This review addresses the biological and chemical properties of insect chemosensory proteins (CSPs) and presents their functional advancements, not only in olfaction but also in nonolfactory processes, particularly in relation to insecticide resistance.

Characterizing the infection-induced transcriptome of Nasonia vitripennis reveals a preponderance of taxonomically-restricted immune genes [PDF]
, 2013 The innate immune system in insects consists of a conserved core signaling network and rapidly diversifying effector and recognition components, often containing a high proportion of taxonomically-restricted genes. In the absence of functional annotation, genes encoding immune system proteins can thus be difficult to identify, as homology-based ...

Wolbachia Infection in a Natural Parasitoid Wasp Population
PLOS ONE, 2015 The maternally transmitted bacterium Wolbachia pipientis is well known for spreading and persisting in insect populations through manipulation of the fitness of its host. Here, we identify three new Wolbachia pipientis strains, wHho, wHho2 and wHho3, infecting Hyposoter horticola, a specialist wasp parasitoid of the Glanville fritillary butterfly.

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, April 2025.The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.
