The rearranged mitochondrial genome of Leptopilina boulardi (Hymenoptera: Figitidae), a parasitoid wasp of Drosophila
The partial mitochondrial genome sequence of Leptopilina boulardi (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) was characterized. Illumina sequencing was used yielding 35,999,679 reads, from which 102,482 were utilized in the assembly. The length of the sequenced region of this partial mitochondrial genome is 15,417 bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding, two rRNA, and 21tRNA genes (the trnaM failed to be sequenced) ...
متن کاملInfluence of the Virus LbFV and of Wolbachia in a Host-Parasitoid Interaction
Symbionts are widespread and might have a substantial effect on the outcome of interactions between species, such as in host-parasitoid systems. Here, we studied the effects of symbionts on the outcome of host-parasitoid interactions in a four-partner system, consisting of the parasitoid wasp Leptopilina boulardi, its two hosts Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans, the wasp virus LbFV, and t...
متن کاملDrosophila resistance genes to parasitoids: chromosomal location and linkage analysis.
Insect hosts can survive infection by parasitoids using the encapsulation phenomenon. In Drosophila melanogaster the abilities to encapsulate the wasp species Leptopilina boulardi and Asobara tabida each involve one major gene. Both resistance genes have been precisely localized on the second chromosome, 35 centimorgans apart. This result clearly demonstrates the involvement of at least two sep...
متن کاملHaemocyte changes in resistant and susceptible strains of D. melanogaster caused by virulent and avirulent strains of the parasitic wasp Leptopilina boulardi.
Two strains of Drosophila melanogaster (resistant and susceptible) were parasitized by a virulent or avirulent strain of the parasitoid wasp Leptopilina boulardi. The success of encapsulation depends on both the genetic status of the host strain and the genetic status of the parasitoid strain: the immune cellular reaction (capsule) is observed only with the resistant strain-avirulent strain com...
متن کاملGenetic Variability of Conditioned Probing Responses to a Fruit Odor in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Leptopilina boulardi</Emphasis>(Hymenoptera: Eucoilidae), a <Emphasis Type="Italic">Drosophila</Emphasis>Parasitoid
The genetic variability of odor-conditioned probing behavior was investigated in a population of Leptopilina boulardi, a parasitoid of Drosophila larvae. Ovipositor probing is the final step of host location, leading to the discovery of host larvae. It can be triggered by an odor previously experienced during an oviposition as a result of associative learning. This study was based on the analys...
