Kairomone involvement in the host specificity of the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) [PDF]

European Journal of Entomology, 2006
This paper reports the results of a comparative laboratory analysis of the behavioural responses of the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) to semiochemical cues from four species of pentatomid bugs, Nezara viridula ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Trissolcus japonicus (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), the candidate for the biological control of Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
The samurai wasp Trissolcus japonicus (Ashmead, 1904) is a parasitoid hymenopteran that came into the limelight as the natural enemy of Halyomorpha halys. Here, we present the complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the CREATJ laboratory strain,

What’s my age again? Assessing the impact of stink bug egg mass age on host recognition by egg parasitoids Trissolcus basalis and Trissolcus japonicus (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
Wasps, from the genus Trissolcus, are egg parasitoids that are commonly used in biological control programs targeting stink bugs. They navigate a complex environment, relying on a diverse array of biochemical and ecological cues to locate their hosts ...

Host chemical footprints induce host sex discrimination ability in egg parasitoids. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Trissolcus egg parasitoids, when perceiving the chemical footprints left on a substrate by pentatomid host bugs, adopt a motivated searching behaviour characterized by longer searching time on patches were signals are present.

Intraguild interactions between two egg parasitoids of a true bug in semi-field and field conditions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Research on interspecific competitive interactions among insect parasitoids has often been characterized by laboratory studies in which host insects are exposed to female parasitoids of different species in various sequences and combinations. In the last

Irradiation-induced sterility in an egg parasitoid and possible implications for the use of biological control in insect eradication [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Classical biological control is a pest control tool involving the release of imported natural enemies. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) comprises releasing sexually sterile insects of a pest into the wild population for suppression or eradication. Both

An Insight into the Role of Trissolcus mitsukurii as Biological Control Agent of Halyomorpha halys in Northeastern Italy [PDF]

Insects, 2020
Sustainable strategies such as classical or augmentative biological control are currently being evaluated for the long-term management of the alien invasive pest Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae).

Native and Non-Native Egg Parasitoids Associated with Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Halyomorpha halys [Stål, 1855]; Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in Western Slovenia [PDF]

Insects, 2021
Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), native to East Asia, has become a globally invasive pest, as a serious threat to agricultural production and a notorious nuisance pest in urban areas.

Egg parasitoid attraction toward induced plant volatiles is disrupted by a non-host herbivore attacking above or belowground plant organs. [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Plants respond to insect oviposition by emission of oviposition-induced plant volatiles (OIPVs) which can recruit egg parasitoids of the attacking herbivore.

The ovipositing female of Ooencyrtus telenomicida relies on physiological mechanisms to mediate intrinsic competition with Trissolcus basalis [PDF]

Entomologia Experimentalis Et Applicata, 2012
Ongoing studies by our group showed that the outcome of the intrinsic competition between two solitary egg parasitoids, Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) and Ooencyrtus telenomicida (Vassiliev) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), is ...
