Citrus Whitefly Parasitoid, Encarsia lahorensis (Howard) (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae)

Ovicide in the whitefly parasitoid, Encarsia formosa.

The oviposition decisions made by insect parasitoids when encountering hosts of variable quality have been the subject of extensive theoretical and experimental investigation. For parasitoids that lay their eggs inside the host, the possible outcomes of encounters with parasitized hosts have been assumed to include only oviposition (superparasitism), rejection, or in some cases feeding on host ...

Isolation and Characterization of Nine Microsatellite Loci for a Parasitoid Wasp, Encarsia smithi (Silvestri) (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae)

The parasitoid wasp Encarsia smithi is an important agent in the classical biological control of two species of invasive spiny whiteflies, Aleurocanthus spiniferus and Aleurocanthus camelliae. To evaluate the performance of parasitism indexed by genetic diversity, a highly polymorphic genetic marker is required. In this report, nine microsatellite loci are described for E. smithi. The microsate...
