Effects of quantitative and qualitative differences in volatiles from host- and non-host-infested maize on the attraction of the larval parasitoid Cotesia kariyai
(2017-04-01)
Cotesia kariyai Watanabe (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a specialist larval parasitoid of Mythimna separata Walker (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Cotesia kariyai wasps use herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) to locate hosts. ...
New host, geographic records, and histopathologic studies of Angiostrongylus spp (Nematoda: Angiostrongylidae) in rodents from Argentina with updated summary of records from rodent hosts and host specificity assessment
(Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, 2016-03)
To date, 21 species of the genus Angiostrongylus (Nematoda: Angiostrongylidae) have been reported around the world, 15 of which are parasites of rodents. In this study, new host, geographic records, and histopathologic ...
Host specificity in the host-seeking larva of the dipteran parasitoid Mallophora ruficauda and the influence of age on parasitism decisions
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-02)
Larvae of the robber fly Mallophora ruficauda are ectoparasitoids of white grubs and adults are an important apiculture pest in Argentina. Females oviposit on tall grasses and the second instar larva actively searches and ...
Changes in the hemolymph and fat body metabolites of Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera : Crambidae) parasitized by Cotesia flavipes (Cameron) (Hymenoptera : Braconidae)
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2008)
The koinobiont Cotesia flavipes responds to and is influenced by biochemical changes in the host hemolymph composition, Diatraea saccharalis. Changes in the composition of macronutrients may occur due to the hosts own ...
Innate Host Habitat Preference in the Parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata: Functional Significance and Modifications through Learning
(2016)
Parasitoids searching for polyphagous herbivores can find their hosts in a variety of habitats.
Under this scenario, chemical cues from the host habitat (not related to the host) represent
poor indicators of host location. ...
Fungal infections in the immunocompromised host

A community approach to the Neotropical ticks-hosts interactions
(Springer Nature, 2020-06-09)
The relationships between ticks and hosts are relevant to capture the ecological background driving the evolution of these parasites. We used a set of 4,764 records of ticks of the genera Amblyomma, Ixodes, and Haemaphysalis ...
THE PARASITOID, Cotesia flavipes (CAMERON) (HYMENOPTERA: BRACONIDAE), INFLUENCES FOOD CONSUMPTION AND UTILIZATION BY LARVAL Diatraea saccharalis (F.) (LEPIDOPTERA: CRAMBIDAE)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-10-01)
Parasitoids exploit host insects for food and other resources; they alter host development and physiology to optimize conditions to favor parasitoid development. Parasitoids influence their hosts by injecting eggs, along ...
Host preference of the bean weevil Zabrotes subfasciatus
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2008)
It is largely known that the range of an insect diet is mostly determined by oviposition behavior, mainly in species with endophytic larvae such as Zabrotes subfasciatus. However, the proximate factors determining host ...
