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 PhysiologyWasps, 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 ...

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

Mating Status of an Herbivorous Stink Bug Female Affects the Emission of Oviposition-Induced Plant Volatiles Exploited by an Egg Parasitoid [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Insect parasitoids are under selection pressure to optimize their host location strategy in order to maximize fitness. In parasitoid species that develop on host eggs, one of these strategies consists in the exploitation of oviposition-induced plant ...
